This 1959 C1 Has Been Reborn in the Digital Age

Modern Handling

Classic sports cars are great but, realistically, their handling pales in comparison with modern cars. Thankfully this 1959 Corvette has been fitted with a Corvette Correction custom chassis, and independent rear suspension. But driving a classic sports car is about feeling and, thanks to this model's rack and pinion steering, the driver receives plenty of feedback through the wheel.

Powertrain

The beating heart of this car is an LS3 376 ci powerplant which produces 430 horsepower. This engine has been paired with a T56 6-speed manual transmission. So, this Corvette doesn't just handle like a modern car, it accelerates like one too.

Wheels

The Z06 alloys wrapped in Michelin tires are a treat for the eyes. If they shined any brighter, you could argue that they'd be hazardous while driving.

Brakes

This Corvette's beautiful alloys house four-wheel power disc brakes. And you can bet those Michelins will provide plenty of grip in an emergency braking situation.

Interior

This model's custom interior is crisp and fresh which is indicative of the car itself. And, in case there was any doubt that this Corvette has been propelled into the 21st century, it's been fitted with a Dakota digital dash.
