Vehicle Description
When it comes to universal appeal, few cars bring it quite like the
Chevrolet Corvette. While a lot of its competitors placed an
emphasis on speed, exclusivity, or some other singular piece of the
puzzle, the Corvette did its best to be the attainable sports car
for every man. A prime example of that 'best all-around' mindset is
this sweet C1 roadster. A 3-time NCRS Top Flight winner, it wraps
timeless American style around a trusty Powerglide 2-speed and 283
cubic inches of hot Chevrolet small block. Looking for some choice
vintage muscle to take to the streets or the show? Check out this
awesome Vette!
Sealed in a traditional combination of Roman Red and Ermine White
2-stage, this Corvette sports a roster of national honors that
includes three NCRS Top Flight awards. The car's smooth body was
carefully restored to better-than-new condition by Impatient
Creations of Alabaster, Alabama. As you can see from our
high-resolution photography, that profile features great alignment,
reflecting a crisp finish that contrasts a tight white top. That
body's combination of form, fit and flash reinforces the fact that
this Chevy was a solid driver before its detailed metamorphosis
began. And today, it rolls as one fully sorted curve carver that's
virtually guaranteed to captivate and impress!
Tilt the lightweight hood and you'll find 283 cubic inches of
smooth Chevrolet small block. Behind that venerable V8, a smooth
Powerglide 2-speed twists torque through a rebuilt GM axle that's
packed with big, 3.55 gears. That drivetrain rolls in a familiar
double A-arm front and solid axle rear suspension, which was
professionally restored by Hillbilly Vette Shop of Kingsport,
Tennessee. At the corners of the car, standard drum brakes
supplement good handling characteristics with solid and confident
stops. Exhaust is funneled through 2.5-inch, true-dual pipes, which
make excellent use of long turbo mufflers. And power meets the
pavement through Roman Red steelies, which spin 6.70-15 BF Goodrich
Silvertown whitewalls around traditional stainless wheel
covers.
Open this C1's tossable doors and you'll find a seamless Red
interior that's been completely rebuilt with quality Al Knoch
restoration components. Seating comes courtesy of familiar vinyl
thrones. From the driver's perch, a painted and padded dash hangs
factory gauges, professionally rebuilt by Joe Ray Parts Co. of
North Little Rock, Arkansas, between a factory heater and a
requisite Wonder Bar radio. Below that dash, a polished shifter
sails textured carpet, which is protected by color-keyed mats. And
in front of the driver, a speed-drilled steering wheel laps a
polished cross-flag hub.
When it comes to maximizing the amount of muscle your money buys,
you simply can't go wrong with America's favorite sports car.
Thanks to its thorough restoration, this national award-winning
Chevy is a great driving piece that's fun, historic and reliable.
If you're looking for a stylish classic that commands respect on
both the boulevard and the show field, this fashionable Vette is
just your style!
