There were 1,878 59 Corvettes built with a Powerglide trans. 1,551 with the base 283/230 hp engine, 293 with the 283/245 2x4 engine and 34 with the 283/250 FI engine.
As wmf62 said, all 59's were 283's. The 327 wasn't introduced until 62.

Are you buying it to sell at a profit, or to drive and enjoy? Completely different sets of questions to be asked depending on how you answer that one.
