Vehicle Description
Start with a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible that looks like
nothing you've ever seen before. Then add in a performance V8, full
custom interior, and an upgraded suspension. Now you have a unique
custom that lives up to its speedy good looks.
Everyone takes notice of this roadster, and it's for far more
reasons than just the slick paint and crisp body creases. The
elimination of the front bumper, smooth front panel (the headlights
are now below), and the seamless integration of the deep chin
spoiler make this one look like a shark that's hungry for dinner.
And the performance attitude continues over every inch of the body.
The tall L88-style hood is accented by a custom silver stripe
package. Almost all trim is shaved, including the door handles.
Fender flares draw attention to wide body kit, especially in the
rear. And when you get back there, you see a custom creation that
was clearly inspired by the champion Grand Sport C2s. But it also
added custom elements like the taillights, center exit exhaust, and
well-integrated spoiler to prove that this beast is no copycat.
There is a color-matched hardtop and power windows to keep you
fully buttoned up in this Sting Ray. But we really love this custom
creation when it's open to the world. After all, the silver on the
hood is a nice match for the full silver interior. This is a
terrific mix of the best GM pieces expertly integrated into one
package. And it all has a fresh feeling of investment. For example,
the vintage pieces like door panels and dash tops are newer Al
Knoch components. To that you add custom bucket seats borrowed from
a later-model Pontiac. The center console and steering wheel are
well-integrated C3 pieces. Plus, you get some great driver upgrades
like the B&M shifter, tilt steering column, power steering, and
full AutoMeter gauge package with large speedo and tach.
When you lift the hood, there's more of that great silver and blue
coordination. There's less than 500 miles on this whole build, so
the entire engine bay looks exceptionally fresh. And while they
spent a small fortune on polished components, you know people are
really going to gravitate to the performance side of this hardware.
That's because this 355 cubic-inch V8 has a large Demon 650 CFM
carburetor and a B&M blower sitting on top. Plus, this V8's
performance has been further fortified and enhanced with goodies
like Keith Black pistons. Pro Comp aluminum heads, Be Cool aluminum
radiator w/electric fan, and Hooker headers that feed a growling
dual exhaust. The 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission was
rebuilt by Phoenix Transmission, so it can handle this extra power
this one is bringing to the ground. And while the fully independent
suspension and four-wheel disc brakes already made these Corvettes
one of the best handling cars of their era, this custom build goes
further. So you'll notice upgrades in the undercarriage photos like
the tubular front A-arms and QA1 coilovers.
Beautiful paint, a full custom body, performance-mined interior,
and serious power all come together in one terrific package. This
fresh custom build is a one-of-a-kind, so don't miss what could be
your only opportunity. Call today!!!
