Not sure it was a full-size Chev...might have been a later 230 in something smaller but IIRC when I heard about it, it was a 235. I know the 200" Mustangs and Falcons are capable of it, though a base hardtop rolls at around 2500 or 2600lbs, a lot lighter than a '59 Chev, without options probably a 3500 or 3600lb car.
