For Sale at Auction: 1959 Chevrolet Corvette in Columbus, Ohio

This custom 1959 Chevrolet Corvette roadster is powered by a GM LS1 aluminum V-8 engine paired with a 4L60E automatic transmission and power steering. Cooling is managed through a Be Cool radiator and the vehicle is equipped with a Highway 22 wiring harness. It rides on a Corvette Correction chassis with a C4 independent suspension. Baer four-wheel power disc brakes and master cylinder provide stopping power. The all-original 1959 Corvette body was hand-stripped to bare fiberglass, placed on a rotisserie, smoothed and refinished with tightened body gaps before being painted Viper Red with white coves. The stainless trim and chrome components were polished or replaced. Budnik wheels complete the exterior appearance. The custom black leather interior by Al Knoch includes a hand-stitched leather dashboard and door panels, Vintage Air climate control, power windows, Nostalgic gauges and an AM/FM/MP3 sound system. The trunk compartment was smoothed and painted before being finished with custom panels trimmed in hand-stitched tuck-and-roll black leather and an embedded Corvette emblem. Additional features include a detailed satin-finish engine compartment and a detailed undercarriage.
