Vehicle Description
We've featured some really cool Corvette resto-mods over the past
few years. And this handsome, drop-top Sting Ray is the latest in a
long line of metal that seems to come in, spend one week being
universally admired, and disappear to a new home. For most
enthusiasts, resto-mods are the perfect compromise between reliable
performance and vintage style. And, lets' face it, who doesn't
enjoy cruising a storied classic that mixes the best attributes of
old school Detroit muscle with the swift performance of modern
American iron? Wrapping an upgraded drivetrain in an upgraded
chassis and a tasteful restoration, this sweet Chevy is an
impressive classic that'll fare well on the road AND at the
show!
EFFORTLESSLY ENDURING
The beneficiary of acute restoration that focused on both looks and
drivability, this clean drop-top is a first class resto-mod that's
fully sorted and ready to roll. The car's sculpted body gets capped
by tight Black canvas, and that canvas floats effortlessly amid
rich black two-stage that's iced with a painted hood stripe. At the
front of that stripe, polished bumpers center a stainless-trimmed
grille between small, bullet-style parking lamps. Behind those
lamps, an ornate header emblem leads a '66 Corvette Big Block Hood,
which fronts stainless-trimmed glass and muted wipers. At the edges
of those blades, a louvered profile floats polished handles and a
familiar bowtie mirror above classy fender emblems and textured
rocker guards. Behind those shields, two more polished bumpers
split a polished tag pocket and polished exhaust tips. And at the
back of the car, a requisite Corvette deck script splits a flashy
fuel filler and sporty taillights.
THREE-FIFTY, FOUR-HUNDRED
Hoist this Vette's retrofitted hood and you'll find 350 cubic
inches of reliable Chevy small block that was sourced directly from
the pros at Kearney, Nebraska's BluePrint Engines! At the top of
that mill, a polished air cleaner dumps wind through a coated
Holley 4-barrel that's laced with polished stainless fuel lines.
Under that carb, a polished Edelbrock Performer RPM intake reflects
polished valve covers, which are sandwiched between aluminum heads
and a polished stainless breather. Coated Hedman Hedders split
loomed MSD Street Fire Wires, which siphon sparks from a hot HEI
distributor. In front of those wires, pliable V-belts spin a modern
alternator opposite a coated AC compressor. A big aluminum radiator
fronts dual electric puller fans. And it all adds up to a solid 400
dyno-proven horsepower!
GO LIKE NEW!
Park this Sting Ray on a lift and you'll find a thoughtfully
upgraded chassis that's clean, mean and ready to roll! Behind the
stout small block, a tough Tremec 5-speed twists power to a
requisite Dana 44 rear-clip. That drivetrain pushes a fully
independent suspension that's been upgraded with a Van Steel sway
bar, modern control arms and quality Viking coil-overs. Turns come
courtesy of traditional power steering. Power-assisted stops are
provided by painted Delco calipers. The aforementioned headers
growl through large-diameter pipes, which thread throaty MagnaFlow
mufflers. And this Chevy's lowered ride height looks great buckled
down around 18-inch Cragar 610Cs and sticky BF Goodrich tires.
CUSTOM CLASS
Slip in to this Sting Ray's tailored cockpit and settle on firm
bucket seats that stretch intricate, red-stitched leather under
tall, retrofitted headrests. A familiar dual-cowl dash hangs
upgraded telemetry beside controls for Vintage Air conditioning and
Bluetooth-capable Retrosound audio. A shallow console traces a
tasteful shifter. Custom side panels, patterned in diamonds to
match the car's handsome seats, border fade-free carpet that's
protected by Corvette-themed mats. And in front of the driver, a
polished and wood-rimmed steering wheel laps a stylish Corvette
horn button.
Who doesn't want a second-generation Corvette that looks classic
and drives modern? Thanks to great restoration, this svelte
convertible retains authentic Motor City feel while adding modern
components to an already awesome ownership experience. In the
market for a storied collector car that's fully detailed and ready
to hit the road? Welcome to the Chevrolet family!
