This 1959 Corvette looks ready for action finished in two-tone turquoise with white coves and a turquoise interior with white soft-top. The Corvette has received a body-off restoration; starting with a very original car, great care was taken to preserve originality. The car is driven by a 283-cid, 230-hp V-8 engine that is connected to the desirable and optional four-speed manual transmission. The majority of the chrome and brightwork has either been restored or polished. The interior is immaculate with original dash and Al Knoch carpet and seats. Knoch is recognized for quality components. This was the first year for Corvette to utilize the shift lever on the manual to have a T-handle lock-out for accessing reverse. This exciting machine also has a radio, sunvisors, radial whitewall tires and factory wheel covers. This Corvette is well-presented in all manners and is reported to “drive and ride as good as it looks.”
