Vehicle Description
This 1972 convertible known as "Speedvette" is a high-end C3
Resto-Mod. Absolutely no expense spared on this 4-year
professionally built car. Every inch of this vehicle has been
massaged, starting with the rust-free powder-coated stock frame
with RideTech suspension, including coilovers all the way around.
This vehicle is equipped with massive Baer 6-piston brakes with 14"
rotors and ReMaster cylinder for stopping power. The 6.2-liter GM
Performance LS3 525hp engine with 4L70E 4-speed automatic overdrive
transmission powers this Speedvette. Additional engine compartment
features include one-off Corvette billet coil covers, Concept One
serpentine pulley system, Be Cool radiator with dual electric fans,
Borgeson 600 steering box and chrome-plated cast headers connected
to chambered muffler side pipes. It rides on Schott Venom 19x9" and
19x11" wheels with Diamondback Redline Hankook tires. The subtly
modified body includes an LT1 long hood, C6-inspired decklid and
waterfall, smooth firewall kit and 2" rear flares. It is finished
in stunning custom PPG Super Blue two-stage paint. All-new chrome
adds to the bright exterior. The custom interior features Pro Auto
Custom Interiors covered C3/C6-inspired dash and C5 heated seats in
red leather, LED-lighted door panels, Daytona weave custom carpet
and black canvas convertible top. American AutoWire juices this
'Vette up, and the Dakota Digital HDX gauges keep track of the
important stuff. It has a Vintage Air system and, for nighttime
driving, Detroit Speed ultra-fast electric headlights. The custom
hood is operated and held down with a linear actuator, as is the
emergency brake. Everything on this "Super Blue Supercar" was
thought out and applied so it could be driven or raced on an
autocross course.
