Vehicle Description
You're looking at a car that has no equal. This 1960 Chevrolet
Corvette is the kind of restomod that takes the ionic style and
adds everything you could want. So while you're enjoying the
performance of beautifully presented crate V8 and the comfort of an
A/C interior, you'll also be winning awards in a unique build that
has been customized over every inch.
This is a bit stealthy from the first impression. The slick black
paint with iconic silver coves just looks like the two-tone of a
painstakingly restored first-generation Corvette. This restomod
retains the iconic design lines that made this America's sports
car. The subtle power bulges in the hood, rounded fender lines, and
hint of tailfin are all pieces we love to see on a C1. And like any
good '60s machine there was plenty of brightwork. Everything from
the intricate form-fitting split bumpers, to the toothy grille, to
delicate trim that runs the full-length of the front fender - it
all has the mirror-like quality of serious investment. But it also
isn't hard to spot that this is an upgraded machine. The large Boyd
Coddington 18-inch alloys completely fill the wheel wells with
modern performance for a far more aggressive stance.
While this one comes with a deep black folding roof that looks
great against the exterior, we really know that your favorite days
will be the ones with the top off. After all, the red interior just
looks like it's radiating performance from within this slick
machine. The fresh and correct bucket seats fit so perfectly
between the C1's iconic waterfall tonneau. The same red is used for
the doors, dash, shift boot, and even carpet piping. Plus, we bet
you wish they made jackets out of this carpet's premium weave. The
total impression makes for a striking and uniform package that gets
kudos on the interior alone. And more than just look fantastic,
there are plenty of great comfort features like the custom lower
dash that contains an AM/FM stereo w/aux input and controls for
ice-cold modern R134a air conditioning - that way you can stay cool
while looking cool driving with the top down any time of year.
You'll rest you right hand on the Lokar shifter, your right one on
the custom red/chrome steering wheel, and gaze at cool blue glow of
the Dakota Digital gauges. All of these tells your senses to get
ready for something special, even before you twist the key and hear
the roar of the exhaust.
Everywhere you park, you won't be able to resist lifting the hood
and showing off. Just like the rest of this classic, you're looking
at a heavy investment in show-worthy components. The black engine
bay looks great against the glossy black valve covers and matching
air topper with classic Corvette graphic. And the tidy packaging is
a nice indication of the upgrade to this V8. You're looking at
performance crate motor with only about 9,200 miles on the whole
build. Plus, it has performance upgrades like the bright Edelbrock
Performer intake, Edelbrock cylinder heads, MSD Ignition, and
Sanderson headers. Out on the road, this handles like no C1 that
you know. The Jim Meyer Racing suspension components include great
upgrades like tubular A-arms up front, a four-link rear, and
adjustable coilovers at each wheel. Plus, the modern grip of Nitto
Extreme NT555 tires and disc brakes at every wheel give you a total
superior handling package. But a true restomod is more than just a
great performance machine. It's easier to drive everywhere, too.
That's why you have a four-speed automatic transmission with
highway-friendly overdrive, power steering, and an aluminum
radiator w/electric fan to keep it all running cool even if you're
in traffic with the A/C pumping.
This is a vintage C1 for the upper echelon, and we have the build
receipts as proof. It usually takes a lifetime to get a car looking
like this, but if you're lucky enough, the ultimate classic
Corvette could be yours tomorrow. Call today!!!
