Vehicle Description
This 1958 Corvette twin-turbo LS1 is powered by a 5.7-liter V8
engine and 6-speed manual transmission. With floors dropped 6" and
footwells pushed forward 2", the seating position and driving
experience is unlike any other C1 Corvette. The seats also have
integrated shoulder belts for safety, and have been molded to fit
the waterfall. Beautiful red leather covers the seat, dash and door
panels. The Vintage Air blows through custom Mercedes
air-conditioning vents molded under the dash and wrapped in
leather. Keyless entry and push-button start finish up the
beautiful interior. Under the functional louvered hood you will
find twin 58MM turbos pulling fresh air from the hidden air boxes
behind the front bumpers, then flowing into the intercooler. The
power is amazing, dyno-tuned to a very conservative 509rwhp. The
engine bay has been cleaned up by relocating the brake booster and
master cylinder under the dash, and finished in satin. The fuel
tank has been relocated to the rear of the car with a hidden filler
under the driver's side taillight, rear bumpers were modified and
molded to fit tight to the body, along with molding in the exhaust
tips into the rear bumpers. The custom chassis with modern Corvette
suspension and coilovers at all four corners was powder-coated
black chrome. The brakes have been upgraded to 14" C6 Z06 calipers
and rotors on both the front and rear, with one-off custom-designed
wheels from Kompression wrapped in Nitto Invos. The body of this
Resto-Mod has been worked to near perfection and finished in 2011
factory Corvette color Supersonic Blue, with new cloth soft-top
from Coffman Corvettes. This stunning example is a fresh build with
only 340 miles since completed. This car retains all of the beauty
of the original car with the functionality and comfort of a modern
car.
