DESCRIPTION:
1959 Chevrolet Corvette Street Machine Project powered by a Holley Sniper EFI fuel-injected 383 cu. in. Chevy ‘Stoker’ motor and backed by a Turbo 400 automatic transmission and a narrowed Oldsmobile rear differential. This car is being sold off as part of an estate and information about the car is limited. There is ‘zero’ miles so far on the car and many extra parts included with the sale such as another hood, trunk lid, and convertible top frame. The overall condition of the car is ‘Fair’ with what appears to be new wiring, frame and suspension components. The Corvette does start and run (see video) but does need additional work which includes a battery. No documentation on the build is available. The ’59 has a clear West Virginia title.

While we do our best to provide quality cars with an honest and reliable description and realize the importance of transparency when selling vehicles. We have not built, modified, changed, or personally owned this vehicle. Even though this vehicle is being sold by Kurzmann’s Auto Brokerage we do not know the vehicles complete history since new. We want to be clear and try to answer any questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we do welcome 3rd party independent inspections. Please inquire prior to purchase to make sure the advertised vehicle has not already been sold. If a customer chooses to purchase sight unseen (many of our customers choose this option) the customer accepts the vehicle AS IS and WHERE IS and understands we cannot address concerns after purchase. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify the existence of options, accessories, and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
I have been an active internet seller of vehicles on eBay and other Motor Vehicle websites for more than 20 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period. Approximately 15 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles on the internet without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
