Originally assembled on December 2, 1962, this 1963 Corvette
Restomod Convertible has seen some serious mechanical upgrades and
is ready to hit the cruise scene. This car was purchased a few
years ago, at which point the owner decided to invest $40,000 in
the engine, transmission, brakes, and suspension to ensure that
this car would be able to keep up with the modern Corvettes. This
car’s paint is older and in overall good condition with a good
shine. Convertible top looks to be a few years old as well, but is
also in good condition with a good window and no major stains.
Chrome bumpers are in good to very good condition with no dings or
rust. Taillights are in overall good condition with no cracks. This
car wears a set of polished aluminum custom offset Billet
Specialties wheels, which measure 17x7 in the front and 17x8 in the
rear. These wheels are in excellent condition with no curb rash and
wear sticky Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 tires with an average of 9/32nds
tread depth remaining.
Originally all Red vinyl, the interior of this 1963 Corvette
Restomod Convertible is still mostly Red, but now with leather
seats and Black loop carpet. These seats look to be older, but are
still in good condition with no rips or tears. Dash pads are in
very good condition with no cracks and the door panels and center
console are in good condition. Gauges are in very good condition
with little to no fading and relatively clear lenses. Carpet is
recent and in very good condition. Seatbelts look to be new and a
smaller diameter steering wheel with a black vinyl rim has been
added , in addition to a Custom Auto Sound cassette stereo.
As for the engine compartment this 1963 Corvette Retomod
Convertible is all business, starting with a GM ZZ 383 crate
engine. Attached to this engine is a Tremec TKO 600 5 speed manual
transmission with the Keisler install kit. New offset trailing arms
have been installed to clear the larger wheels and tires, and the
front and rear suspension has been rebuilt with polyurethane
bushings. Power brakes and power steering have also been added,
including a Wilwood 4 piston caliper, 4 wheel disc conversion with
slotted and drilled rotors , as well as all new brake lines.
