This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette is finished in Roman Red with an optional white two-tone scheme. It has a heater, Wonderbar radio, 4-speed manual transmission, and a 283 cubic-inch overhead valve V8 engine fitted with a single 4-barrel carburetor. In 2008, the car was given a restoration that brought it back to its original condition.By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2018
