The first-generation Chevrolet Corvette is one of the most sought-after American classics in the world, and there’s a good reason why. It started a line of serious sports cars that continues to exist to this day. With a range of engine and transmission options on offer, the Corvette proved to be a genuine performance car. It also featured a fiberglass body, which saved weight. And, of course, it also looked the part. With ’50s styling cues, the Corvette is likely the first car to spring to mind when thinking of a classic American convertible. The 1959 model year marked the last year of production for the C1 Corvette, and as you’d expect, it’s a popular model year for a number of reasons. The styling ditched the superficial louvers on the hood, while engineering changes to the rear of the ’Vette helped improve handling. The car you see featured here is offered for sale with a numbers-matching engine and manual transmission , making it a rare example of originality.
This particular 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible has been subjected to a major refresh, with work completed fairly recently in 2017. The roadster is finished in an eye-catching shade of bright red, with the iconic side coves finished in a contrasting white. Matching the two-tone theme, you’ll also find a new white soft top and white wall tires that wrap around a set of five-spoke chrome wheels. The current owner reports that the interior was redone during the refresh work. The red upholstery matches the exterior, as too does the dashboard and passenger grab bar. The interior features an aftermarket steering wheel from Boyd Coddington Accessories. Behind the steering wheel, you’ll find a speedometer and tachometer dead center, with ancillary gauges monitoring fuel level, water temperature, battery amperage, and oil pressure on either side.
Under the hood of this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, you’ll find a replacement 283ci V8 engine. This motor has been upgraded to feature electronic fuel injection. The four-speed manual gearbox makes this Corvette C1 a rare example of originality. Another desirable factory option installed is the car’s Posi Trac rear differential. Other features include front disc brakes and a new gas tank.
