Very rare and desirable Black 1959 Corvette Trailer Queen with Blue interior, black top powered by a fuel injected 283 cubic inch engine paired with a 4-speed trans mission, celebrity car previously owned and frame restored by Corvette Hall of Fame inductee, Werner Meier. This impeccable Black Fuelie roadster underwent and extensive nut and bolt, frame-off restoration completed by Masterworks Automotive, in Madison Heights, Michigan.  The restoration started with a very low mileage 1959 corvette with only 39832 miles and was completely disassembled to build, basically a new car, including new paint and body and new chrome and stainless all the way around, new Al Knoch Interior, rebuilt drive train and suspension front to back, new wiring and electrical components and newly rebuilt and functional Wonderbar Radio. This car was chosen for the project because of the rare colors, low mileage and it had sustained minor fire damage and it deserved to be reborn even better than new.  The car retains a clean title because it was never been in an accident the had only fiberglass damage. The finished trailer queen now has less than 150 miles, on the restoration, being trailered to shows, like the the 58th Annual Detroit Autorama, where it won second place in its class. During the restoration process, any fiberglass panels that were compromised were replaced with brand new GM reproduction panels that have much better fit and finish than the original 67 year old fiberglass panels that were never that nice to start with. The body was professionally painted in Black urethane and has exceptional mirror finish with gorgeous lines and panel fitment. This special car deserved new chrome and stainless all the way around including, chrome bumpers front and back, new grill, new headlight and taillight bezels, door handles, window glass and windshield stainless and much more. The interior is stunning with new Blue Al Knoch Corvette interior including seat covers and buns, carpet, doors panels, dash and restored instrumentation and radio with new wiring harness front to back.  Under the hood is very impressive, showcasing its fuel injected 283 engine, that was professionally rebuilt including the fuel injection unit, 4-speed transmission and the posit-traction rear end with 3.55:1 gear ratio. The undercarriage of the car is restored to better than new with virgin fiberglass floors, professionally painted rust free frame, new suspension new brakes and brake lines. This incredible corvette is rolling steel wheels, full size spinner wheel covers and wide whites for the classic  curb appeal
