This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette is finished in red over a matching interior and is powered by a 283ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Features include a color-matched hardtop, a white convertible top, an AM radio, and a heater. The car was acquired by the seller in 1990 and has spent time in Pennsylvania and Florida since that time. Service in October 2020 included an oil and filter change, chassis lubrication, a brake fluid flush, and replacement of the rear brake cylinders.
The fiberglass body is finished in red with white coves and features a white convertible top and a body-color removable hardtop. Other exterior equipment includes bright bumpers and trim, quad headlights, and Corvette badging.
Body-color 15″ steel wheels wear chrome covers that feature simulated knockoffs and are wrapped in whitewall tires. The rear brakes and cylinders were reportedly replaced and the brake fluid was flushed in October 2020.
The interior was reupholstered in red vinyl in 2001 and features bucket seats with matching door panels, dashboard, and carpeting. Additional equipment includes a heater, crank windows, metallic trim, and Corvette-embroidered floor mats.
Instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer as well as gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, amperage, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 5k miles. The seller has added approximately 4,600 miles since 1990, and true mileage is unknown.
The 283ci V8 features a red-finished block and valve covers and is said to have been rebuilt in the early 1990s. The seller notes that the gear oil and axle bearing and seal were replaced in 1999, the spark-plug wires and distributor-cap points were reportedly replaced in 2013, and the starter and batter are said to have been replaced in 2015. An oil, filter, and lubrication service was performed in October 2020.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Borg-Warner T-10 four-speed manual transmission.
