duPont REGISTRY Live is proud to present this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod, a comprehensively restored and carefully executed example of the iconic C1 Corvette, showing approximately 967 miles since completion. Finished in Frost Blue Metallic over a blue leather interior with a white convertible top, this build reflects a nut-and-bolt restoration completed to a very high standard, with evident attention to detail throughout. The result is a classic Corvette that retains its original character while benefiting from modern engineering and craftsmanship.

Power comes from a 5.7-liter LS1 V8, paired with a 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission, delivering reliable and modernized performance. It is reported that the donor engine and transmission had around 40,000 miles at the time of the swap. The car is built on a new Art Morrison chassis, widely regarded as a leading name in performance chassis for classic vehicles. This foundation significantly improves structural rigidity, handling, and overall drivability. Supporting upgrades include Wilwood disc brakes, power rack-and-pinion steering, and a fully modernized suspension system, making the car as capable as it is visually refined.

Inside, the cabin is trimmed in blue leather with white accents, reflecting the same level of detail seen throughout the build. Features include a Dakota Digital gauge cluster, a Grant 3-spoke steering wheel wrapped in blue leather, and a floor-mounted shifter with a silver knob. Additional amenities include power windows, heated low-back seats with matching seat belts, and an upgraded Kicker audio system with Bluetooth and Sundown speakers, integrating modern functionality without detracting from the classic aesthetic. The interior presents in exceptional restored condition, consistent with the overall quality of the vehicle.

The exterior is finished in Frost Blue Metallic, paired with a white convertible soft top and classic Corvette styling cues including the vertical-tooth chrome grille and chrome-trimmed side coves. The car rides on 15-inch chrome Corvette-style wheels wrapped in wide whitewall tires, preserving a period-correct appearance, while chrome dual exhaust tips complete the look. The finish, panel fitment, and trim detail all reflect the high level of craftsmanship and attention given during the restoration.

Accompanying the sale are two keys and a car cover. With minimal miles since a high-quality nut-and-bolt restoration, a modern LS1 drivetrain, and improved chassis dynamics, this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod represents a thoughtfully executed blend of classic design and modern performance.
