I think Resto-mods like this that are done tastefully are great. He went with modern wheels that have a classic look. I think the big mistake is when people replace a bunch of stuff on a classic car with what’s cool at the moment, then 10 years later it looks dated. You see stuff at car shows like that all the time.

Looks great. I would have kept it factory stock, but i like his style.

I’d buy that! Why can’t someone make cars with that level of style and curb appeal?!?

Love the older corvettes, they had style and class. Beautiful!

What a beautiful classic mate! Loving the red and white 🎄😍👍

I like it, classic with a unique twist. Great stuff Joe, 👍

Your intro is dope!

Great job again!! Nothing to complain about on this one from me. The color is perfect. Chrome perfect. Paint spectacular. Always loved those wheels and had same style Cragers on my ‘73 Challenger back in the day. I suppose the irony would be - as beautiful as it is, the handling would be a disappointment - only because modern technology and engineering allows current vehicles to handle so well. Thnx Joe - look forward to follow up segment!!

I like the style of the wheels ,but i would go smaller diameter and more side wall 😊

Sweet looking Corvette I love it so much with this style very cool

I love corvettes, and this 59 is no exception, even though its been modified. The only thing that is a clear visible difference is that its been lowered and the wheels have been changed. I prefer the original wheels and height, because where I live, there's a lot of speed bumps! Any other modifications are too small for me to notice. A peak under the hood would have been nice! oh, by the way, I love those two stangs parked behind it too! keep em' comin' Joe, nice job.

Badass ride and quite inspirational to me as a 1960 restoCorvette owner. Is it my weak internet skills that prevents me from seeing the second video of this beauty?

This needs to be in the next Fast & Furious movie. Timeless look. I respect it.

The wheels, aftermarket stereo, and aftermarket a/c vents ruined it for me. I prefer restomods that look original, but perform like a new car.

Smooth & well synchoed camera work as always, especially when it focuses on the things being said on audio at the right time and from the right angles, every time. Ruined car... but probably the best result especially if it was in bad conditions pre-restomod.

This man speaks well of this Corvette... Simple and informative

Love C1s, I've owned my 1960 Vette since 1983.

I love a proper Restomod. The vintage look with today’s performance. Yes please.

Over all, looks cool. The wheels are awesome but I wouldn't have lowered it.

Love the C1 corvette. Awesome Joe

Looks good! While I'm not a big fan of C1 Vettes but the dual headlight ones do look nice when they're modded.....

I guess I'll find out..I'm just starting a Pro-touring style 1959 Corvette on an Art Morrison chassis with C7 suspension/ and LS based engine.

Just an FYI for Corvette collectors: I don't remember the year anymore (62 or 63 I think), but my cousin had a Vette years ago that had something I've never seen or heard of before. It actually had the letters STINGRAY embedded in the metal of the trunk lid. It looked like it was done at the factory too. Don't know how many were made like that, but it must have been very few.

Outstanding!!

I like this style better than any other. There's one where I live and it turns my head every single time. And I'm someone that is getting the C8

A beautiful car every sports car lover in America, should want to have!

SWEET RIDE!!!!! You should see what you can do about finding a good example of the first gen Mustang those were cool as well

What a beautiful car, what kind of red colour is it? absolutely gorgeous

As a through and through Chevy man, I have never cared much for most of the corvettes except the 59 and 67.. and this has got to be one of the most beautiful examples I have ever laid eyes on... EVERYTHING about that car just works.. anyone with taste will agree

Just right for me 😜 See you guys on the next ride 🚘

Nice review, thats my favorite model year of Corvette. I thing it looks good but I wouldn´t lower it so much. For me the stance doesn´t look good and It is not practicall too running over bumps.Overall it is in good shape and would like to own one.Keep up

How much will it cost 2021 ?

Like I said previously, any classic, vintage car that was not a turkey is great if in mint, original condition. I agree with purists that you should try to keep everything as close to original if the car was in almost new condition when acquired, or still is. A resto mod is different, especially if full original pieces not easily available. I don't particularly think the wheel design and super low profile tires match thus car, but it can accommodate the large brake upgrade you mentioned. I still like the fact that my non intercooled 84 Buick GN was faster than the 83/84 Corvette you mentioned, and with a 231 Turbo V6 Automatic in a 3500 lb. car. I prefer the C6 and C7 versions, but have seen so many renditions if the C8 that look really nice

I love these old C-1 Vettes .

cant go wrong with a vette loved my c5 2000 mill yellow lotta mustangs got eat for breakfast lunch and dinner lotta late night snacks to! lol joe hope you had a great x mas!

Love corvette restomod keep the good work …

It works well for me. Tastefully done with an eye for functionality.....

Hate the wheels, but otherwise very sweet. This was the year to have in my opinion.

outstanding! better to restomod than not resto at all.

Even as I tend to be more of a originalist or purist, I love this car. Classic design but modern power and handling. I would kill for a Vette like this.

That's one nice vette! 👍

another beauty from Raiti's Rides...

my dream car

Just Legendary

I want one but like the 58 better

Just perfect.

Like your weather COOL!

IMO there isn't actually what some called "ruined". I might for example absolutely hate your build and would be miserable with the vehical if it were hypothetically given to me personally. But if it puts a smile on your face and you get enjoyment and positive experiences with it. Do it ! Whole point is to have fun and enjoy it. I dislike Donk a lot for example. But have to admire some of craftsmanship skills some have to make what they want a reality. The people I meet is what I like the most about car and motorcycle culture. And happens to have become busy work for my shop when we are slow. Typically build custom equipment for companies like Kholer and 3M. Have had a rat rod, chopper, and Lamborghini parked next to each other waiting on us to get to them too.

Would you put a corvette under the muscle car category? I know it’s a sports car but when I think of muscle cars for some reason I always also think of corvettes

I love that corvette

What a beautiful car.classic red an white.what a lovely sight

OMG WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CAR !

Good video bro 👍🏻👍🏻😎🏝🌴

Bet you thought you'd catch me napping didn't you Joe? My 24/7 alarm system is still working, but I can't spend much time here, I have to feed them. Save the Wave Curses. I put feeding the dogs on hold to finish the video and I have to Zonk you referring to the '58 "louvered hood." It's a washboard hood and has no purpose other than looks, which btw, I like and it was a one year only hood. Great review. You know I like resto-modded Vettes and Kudos to the owner on what he's done so far and where's he going with the build. Looking forward to Part 2. Oh yeah, speak to your wardrobe dept., I think you need a black & white checkered flag style scarf. Hey, image is everything you know.

Yow this vet is crazy bro

No roll bar?

LUZ YR COVERAGE...CAN U PLEESE TELL ME WHAT RESTMOD MEANS?

Awh HELL YEAH 👍

Not ruined! More like properly finished to its potential.To its ultimate destiny as an actual sportscar. It steers it stops and holds it's own on the street.Its being driven and enjoyed.

excellent car

St Petersburg FL, where they just made plastic straws illegal. Nice going. : (

I like it all apart from the ridiculous rim size. 16 or 17 inch rims would have looked much better.

Yes I know u do bro the BOSS 👍🏻👍🏻😎🏝🌴

This Vette is Perfect in every way, It's Beautiful. But them rims and tires have got to go. Would like to see the car with the hard top on it and a different wheel/tire combination.

You should try to get your hands on a C6zo6 and make a video on why that car is a bang for a buck

What a classic

I love and own a 59 but mine has a 396 big block and stock rims because those look terrible

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love it

Carro dos meus sonhos!

Wheels way to big

That s197 beauty right behind you is the same car I have except it’s a 5.0 😭😭 and man this guy really knows his info on all these cars

If I buy a old vette I will get looks of old with a lot of new with it!

Benny & the jets

best Corvette ever

😎👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Do more

U welcome 🙏🏻 😎🏝🌴

More buddy more, if I get the money a Jaguar xk150 coupe in the garage and one of these next to it, in blue baby, bluuuuuuuuue

My 59 had a couple mods. First was a smaller diameter steering wheel so I could fit in the car. Second was a front disc brake conversion so I could stop. Third was the addition of an AC unit due to the hot and humid Louisiana heat. Mine had American mags with what I called Coke Bottle spokes.I built my car to drive.

Classic cars are Awesome😗🤗 :-*:-$

If Anyone has it for sale, please message me ok?

But u know there is 2 Mustang in the back ground lol 😂 😎🏝🌴

Such a beuti. Its like driving ur sofa

An amazing looking C1 from the outside, totally cluttered with endless basic jabber. I think I felt dumber after turning the sound on. No child is watching this, so why explain everything like we are children? You could have shown is the engine, fired it up, given us more detail in half the time of you blabbling on and repeating yourself about trivial details when we all want to see other things.

Hallo 👍💖🐲👋😎

🖒🖒🖒🖒💙💙💙💙💙

Ruined with those wheels. Simple as that. They never look good on anything. Imagine them on a GTO or an E-Type. Horrendous.

Nah. Doesn’t ruin it. Personally I would’ve gone further with the restomod.

C2 is 1955 to 1962. The designation is based on the chassis.

Muffler and wheels!

Rims dont fit it. Rest is nice

Wheels are way to big. Hideous.

completely ruined

TIRES AND RIMS SUCK

It's ruined. Didn't even have to watch the video.

I am not a big fan of c1 vetts
