Shop of Bloomington, Indiana, has executed a number of top-quality
Corvette restorations and custom builds, and this 1967 Chevrolet
Corvette Resto Mod is no exception to that tradition. The ultimate
development of Bill Mitchell and Zora Arkus-Duntov's Sting Ray
concept, the 1967 Corvette is a great choice for upgrading to
modern powertrain, mechanicals and passenger accommodations. The
final year of mid-year body styling was the least cluttered and
arguably most attractive of all, one that seems to encourage
builders to preserve its beauty and keep most, if not all,
modifications under wraps. In this case the Sting Ray's stock
features are preserved, even to the point of using 1967 Silver
Pearl paint and decorating the big-block hood with a contrasting
black-Stinger accent. All the correct chrome and stainless trim has
been preserved, including the classic Bowtie chromed driver's
mirror and factory-style side exhaust outlets. There is modern
Corvette power under the power-actuated hood in the form of an
all-aluminum GM Performance Parts LS3 V-8 engine. Rated at 430 HP
in the 2008 to 2013 Corvette, this electronically fuel-injected
powerplant has been tuned to crank a mighty 525 HP through a
5-speed automatic transmission to the C6 differential. A completely
powder-coated, professionally fabricated custom steel-tube chassis
enables the use of proven C6 front and C5 rear independent
suspension with aluminum double wishbones (also powder-coated).
This allows a wide choice of rolling stock; here it comprises
chromed 18-inch front and 19-inch rear Aluminum wheels, shod with
Toyo red-stripe tires, 275/35-19 rear and 235/40-18 front. Visible
through the wheels are the red powder-coated 6-piston C6 Z06
calipers up front, and 4-piston rear Z06 binders out back, which
clamp down on drilled and slotted rotors, guaranteeing rapid
deceleration from hyperspeed. Inside, you'll see its spectacular
distressed red leather interior, which features power windows,
Vintage Air, custom red carpeting, Auto Meter gauges, bolstered
seats, polished billet controls and a retro-look AM/FM radio with
Bluetooth. Don't let this Jeff Hayes-built '67 'Vette be the one
that got away! Options include: Retro-style AM/FM Stereo Radio with
Bluetooth, Chromed Aluminum Wheels, Custom Red Distressed Leather,
Power Brakes, Power Steering, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, and Tilt
Steering Wheel. For more information on this 1967 Chevrolet
