This is a rare, 1959, 290 HP , fuel injected Corvette that has just undergone a complete, every nut and bolt style
body-off frame restoration following the NCRS judging guideline book and completed June 2015. It was originally
assembled the 2nd week of March 1959 and was just registered by me on 6/21/15 after being off the road for about 20
years! Everything was just rebuilt/ replaced or refurbished. I am not saying that this car is 100% NCRS correct
but is to the best of my knowledge correct. Out of the 9670 Corvettes produced in 1959, only 745 came with the 290
HP FI option making this a very rare car! Not many are left still having the original Fuel Injection and all the
right parts! All drive train components have the correct part numbers and have the proper date coding. I have a
list of everything. Yes, white cars had the name "IVORY" written on the front frame even though it was definitely
WHITE! The body has been completely stripped and has no major repairs evident. Additionally the frame has been
completely sandblasted to bare metal and has no rot or patching repairs ever done to it! The frame has been painted
with epoxy primer inside and out before being painted with Eastwood's chassis black finish coat.
