1959 Corvette White w/Frost Blue-Black Interior
I'm just entering the selling market for a 1959 Corvette. Any hints? It has the 283ci/270 HP, 4 sp manual with aux. hardtop. Great running condition, located in WA State. I have pictures. The serial # is J59S101754, produced in 11/58. It has black interior, with original sunshades and owners manual.

Yes, thanks. For some reason my photos are pending. They are small, so I don't get it. I wanted the photos to upload first, before I marketed it. They will upload for my profile albums, but not in the gallery. I am trying to get this Corvette forum and it is not as user friendly as I first thought.

Thank you for the information. I do that that list also, this car was equipped with the heater, courtesy light, am radio, radiator fan clutch, sunshades, aux. hardtop, two-tone exterior paint, 283ci, 270 HP engine (2X4 carbs) and 4 speed manual trans.
Too bad, it doesn't have the fuel injection, people really like that. I would like to sell it for approx. $55K, but that is just a guess. Where do you advertise for the best buyers? I'm new to this Corvette selling.
Thanks for your help.

They are up on the C-1 Gallery. Look for the photos by oliveshoot. If you go to my profile, you can also see them in my photos. I also have it listed on this site: copy and paste in your browser and it should come up. Let me know if you were able to see it.
