1959 CHEVROLET CORVETTE GASSER

Car History

Everyone always gives a 1959 Corvette a second glance. It is just that beautiful a car.

That's because the 1959 Corvette is an icon. Four headlights up front and a curvaceous rear end with the tailfin is so sleek and sporty.

But when you see a 1959 Corvette like the one we have for sale her at Adventure Classics, with the injectors coming out the hood, fat tires, satin black paint and hear the cam and exhaust, you automatically think GASSER!

Engine & Drivetrain

Just take a look at the freshly rebuilt 350 cubic inch small block Chevy V8 engine bored out 30 over with new pistons, reconditioned rods, the Hillborn Fuel Injection intake manifold and fuel system that has been converted to a F.A.S.T digital controlled system and you know that this Corvette is much meaner than the stock 283 cubic inch engine it had in 1959.

But this one goes much further. It has a camshaft, upgraded solid state distributor and modified ignition, finned aluminum valve covers, upgraded radiator, power brakes, chrome alternator, and Ceramic headers feed the dual exhaust.

The engines has a 4-speed Muncie transmission connected to a Corvette 411 Rear End with it running on Torquethrust custom wheels with Disc Brakes in the front and black wall performance tires all the way around.

Interior

The rich looking and comfy interior has twin factory leather bucket seats with some nice but subtle comfort upgrades like the steering wheel, a retro-style AM/FM stereo, factory gauges and a large AutoMeter tach, Hurst 4-speed flor shifter with the white shifter knob, great door panels, and carpet.

The F.A.S.T compute-controlled engine electronics are all fitted under the passenger side of the dash so it can be driven as reliable as any car now.

Exterior

When you think Gasser or race car, you can envision the Satin-Black paint job on our 1959. It truly gives it the right look with all the great brightwork, including the wraparound bumpers, scalloping side trim, and the big toothy smile of the grille.

While you're starting to get the picture that this one has power, don't forget to look at its level of sophistication, too. It has the hardtop only which is color-matched to the unique paint, and it gives you a coupe-like profile.

Conclusion

The 1959 Corvette we have for sale her at Adventure Classic, is such an iconic Corvette, on more than one level. It will always be the favorite of a lot of Corvette collectors, but when you throw in the looks and power of a drag-racer inspired Gasser, then you have hit a home run on both levels.
