STELLAR AUTOPLEX IS PLEASED TO BRING THIS 1959 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE 327ci FUELIE TO MARKET. THIS CORVETTE IS ONE OF THE NICEST QUALITY CONVERTIBLES WE HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CURRENT FINANCIAL SITUATION ALLOWS YOU TO BID ON THIS AMERICAN CLASSIC. REMEMBER TO BID TO WIN!

THE HISTORY OF THESE CORVETTES IS ALWAYS HARD TO NARROW DOWN EXACTLY. HERE IS THE STORY THAT WE HAVE AND IT'S ALL BASED ON OPEN CONVERSATIONS. THE PAST TWO OWNERS OF THIS CAR ARE STILL AVAILABLE AND WE HAVE HAD PHONE CONVERSATIONS WITH BOTH OF THEM. THE CAR HAS BEEN OWNED BY THE SAME FAMILY SINCE 1985.  IN 1985 THE CAR WAS PURCHASED OUT OF A BARN IN LAVEEN ARIZONA BY A LOCAL 50 YEAR COTTON FARMER. THE CAR WAS SILVER W/ WHITE COVES AND A BLACK INTERIOR (see pics).  THE CARWAS RUNNING AND HAD THE CURRENT MOTOR AND FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM INSTALLED AT THAT TIME. THE FARMER ENJOYED THE CAR FOR 12 YEARS BETWEEN 1985-1997 HERE IN CHANDLER ARIZONA. HE SOLD THE CAR TO HIS BROTHER IN 1997 WHO WAS ALSO LOCATED HERE IN CHANDLER ARIZONA.  HE DROVE THE CAR FOR 9 YEARS FROM 1997-2006 WHEN HE DECIDED TO HAVE THE CAR RESTORED. IN 2006 HE STARTED THE FRAME OFF RESTORATION. THE FIRST COMPANY DID NOT HOLD UP TO THERE END OF THE DEAL AND AFTER 4 YEARS THE CAR WAS LESS THAN 50% COMPLETED. HE BROUGHT THE CAR HOME PARTIALLY RESTORED AND LET IT SIT. IN EARLY 2010 HE PASSED AWAY AND LEFT THE CAR TO HIS DAUGHTER. SHE CONTINUED THE RESTORATION IN APRIL OF 2011 AND AND THE CAR WAS FINALLY FINISHED AND BACK ON THE ROAD IN JANUARY OF 2014.  THE CAR SHOWS 58 MILES ON THE ODOMETER SINCE RESTORATION. WE HAVE A CLEAN AND CLEAR ARIZONA TITLE FOR THE CAR.  WE WILL NOT GUARANTEE THE MILEAGE IS ORIGINAL BECAUSE IT WAS RESET DURING RESTORATION.  

THE COMPLETE BODY OFF RESTORATION WAS PERFORMED BY KEN HILL IN GLENDALE ARIZONA.  HE AND HIS STAFF DID A GREAT JOB ON THE CAR. THE FULL BODY OFF RESTORATION INCLUDED EXTENSIVE PHOTO DETAIL OF ORIGINAL FRAME NUMBERS/MARKINGS. NEW FRONT APRON. NEW PAINT. nbsp;RE-CHROMED BUMPERS/GRILLE/TRIM. RE-POLISHED STAINLESS TRIM. NEW PAINT. NEW BRAKES. REBUILT ENGINE/FUEL INJECTION/TRANS/REAR END. NEW TOP. NEW CARPET AND MUCH MORE.

THE CAR IS NOT A NUMBERS MATCHING CAR BUT THE ENGINE/FUEL INJECTION/TRANS AND REAR END HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR SINCE 1985. THE ENGINE CASTING NUMBER IS 3858174 WHICH DECODES FOR A 1964-1967 327ci V8. THE FUEL INJECTION UNIT NUMBER IS 7014800 WHICH DECODES FOR A 1957 THIRD GENERATION UNIT. THE GENERATOR NUMBER IS 1102096 9B28 WHICH DECODES AS A 1959 PASSENGER CAR BUILT FEB 28 1959. THE SEATS ARE FROM A 1960 CORVETTE. HOWEVER THE CAR IS NOT ORIGINAL BUT IT IS VERY WELL REPRESENTED AND A PLEASURE TO DRIVE.  

THE POWERPLANT IN THIS CORVETTE IS A FACTORY GM 327ci FUELIE FUEL INJECTED V8 MOTOR BACKED BY A BORG WARNER T-10 4 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION THAT SHIFTS PERFECTLY. THE MOTOR RUNS EXCELLENT WITH NO SMOKE OR HARD START. THIS CAR DRIVES DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 75mph NO PROBLEM. THE MOTOR FEATURES A FACTORY FUELIE INTAKE MANIFOLD. FACTORY FUEL INJECTION. MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP. GM STYLE PLUG WIRES. FACTORY PLUG HOLDERS. FACTORY PULLEYS. FACTORY BRACKETS. FACTORY VALVE COVERS AND A FACTORY REPRODUCTION AIR CLEANER. THE ENGINE ALSO FEATURES A FACTORY RADIATOR. FAN SHROUD AND A MANUAL COOLING FAN. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM STARTS WITH THE FACTORY CAST HEADERS WHICH FEED INTO THE DUAL EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH FACTORY DUAL MUFFLERS.

THE EXTERIOR OF THIS CAR IS A TESTIMENT TO CLEAN STYLING AND EARLY MUSCLE CAR LINES. THE GM DESIGNERS HIT IT ON THE HEAD WITH THE CORVETTE BODY STYLE. THE CAR WAS CLEAN BOLD AND QUICK. ALL THE THINGS THE CONSUMERS WANTED IN THE 50'S. THIS CORVETTE IS EXTREMELY CLEAN AND SHOWS VERY WELL. THE CAR WAS WELL DONE AND THE PAINT IS AMAZING SHOWING NO SHRINKAGE. CRACKING. CRAZING OR CHIPS. THE PAINT SHOWS NO SCRATCHES OR PAINT CHIPS. THE PAINT FINISHES ARE ALL SINGLE STAGE PPG. THE CAR FEATURES A ROMAN RED PAINT SCHEME WITH WHITE COVES.
