You're looking at a car that has no equal. This 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Pro-Touring is the kind of restomod that takes the ionic style and adds everything you could want. So while you're marveling at the performance of a modern C7 Grand Sport V8 with a fully independent suspension, and enjoying the comfort of leather-clad interior, you'll also be winning awards in a unique build that has been customized over every inch.
A car like this takes time to get looking so stunning. It was part of a nearly three-year professional frame-off restoration/transformation. And since there have been only about 800 miles put on it since completion, it radiates with a look that tells everyone it's in the highest echelon of quality. It has such an exciting look that the color is even called Bombshell Red. Plus, the addition of the white side coves gives this kind of two-tone presentation that made the first generation Corvette a legend. Like any good 1950s machine there was also plenty of brightwork. Everything from the intricate form-fitting split bumpers, to the delicate trim that runs the full-length of the front fender - it all has the mirror-like quality of serious investment. All the details are correct and award-worthy, right down to the emblem on the trunk. But this one also isn't bashful about being something special. You see it in smaller detail like the upgraded headlights and Kindig-It flush door handles. There are even larger giveaways to this car's added performance with the well-integrated quad exhaust tips, and not only do the US Mags wheels have an awesome pattern, but they are staggered at 19/20 inches front/rear to give you a great stance while fitting modern performance tires. But of course, the easiest way to recognize this Corvette's restomod nature is the custom hood that borrowed design elements from the C7, like the hood vents and Plexiglas window.
A car like this has all the right features. So you get a snug-fitting folding soft top for those times when you just need to get out of the weather, and there's also a color-matched hardtop to give you an attractive coupe-like profile. Of course, on a C1 like this, the best way to go is with no roof at all. The full tan interior is just as fresh as the exterior, and it offers a timeless premium look that you'll want to share with the world. The upgraded leather seats fit so perfectly between the C1's iconic waterfall tonneau, but those modern buckets will hold you better than anything out of the '60s ever could. There's a true attention to detail where the supple materials also have custom stitching in the seatbacks that match the floormats. And more than just look fantastic, there are plenty of great upgrades like power windows and a modern AM/FM/XM/CD touchscreen stereo with Bluetooth. Plus, cold-blowing air conditioning means you get to say feeling as cool as you look with the top down. Like all good Corvettes, this is a driver-oriented car. So the upgraded flat-bottom sports steering wheel has a chrome and tan style that fits with the interior, and beyond that is a full upgraded Dakota Digital gauge package.
While the upgraded motor is already on display through the custom hood window, we know you'll also love lifting it at the car shows to give everyone a closer look. This 6.2-liter LT1 is a Generation V fuel-injected V8 that's so modern, it's still used brand new Chevy sports cars today. It has been installed with care, and it makes this powerhouse appears like the factory installed it. Besides just looking great, you're going to love driving this one. The factory Grand Sports were rated at 460 horsepower right out of the box, and this is even mated to the C7's 8L90-E eight-speed automatic transmission. It gives an ideal setup where you have the best ratios for performance, and it also easily shifts into an overdrive gear for cruising. Out on the road, this handles like no C1 that you know. The suspension is a full custom setup tubular A-arms up front and a C4-style rear. So not only do you have a first-gen Corvette with a fully-independent sports suspension, but also this has the best in components, like QA1 adjustable coilovers at every wheel. Plus, the four-wheel power disc brakes, power steering, and Michelin Pilot Sport tires bring the full driving experience of this classic in line with some of the most modern Corvettes out there.
Complete with restoration photos, this is the kind of full custom build that rarely levels its mastermind's hands. So you can either grab this opportunity now or spend a lifetime chasing it. Call today!!!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
Fees
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
Availability
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
Contact
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
Inspection
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
Payment
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
Shipping
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
Drive it Home
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility. Documents & Vehicle Titles: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN Verification
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
Mileage
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
Condition
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
