Vehicle Description
This award-winning 1958 Pro-Touring Corvette is a fresh build with
test miles only and was professionally restored and custom-built
with modern technology throughout. For added comfort and to
accommodate taller occupants, it's been modified to add 7 extra
inches between the steering wheel and seat, and 2 extra inches in
the footwell compared to a standard C1 Corvette. Power comes from a
GM Racing Gen 5 LT1 (LT376/535) direct-injected 6.2-liter V8 crate
engine that puts out 535hp and 470 ft/lbs of torque. The engine has
a custom air intake, a Billet Specialties polished front drive
system and is paired with a 4L75E 4-speed automatic transmission.
It has a custom-made SRIII super-tube chassis equipped with C7
Corvette front and rear suspension, C7 Z06 front and rear sway
bars, and QA1 performance adjustable coilovers with 18 levels of
ride control. The rear end has a Winters Quick Change differential
with 3.70 gears and HD performance axles with machined-in ZR1 hubs.
It has a custom-tuned stainless-steel exhaust system exiting
through the rear bumper. This custom Corvette rides on 18- and
19-inch custom Schott wheels with tri-bar knock-offs wrapped in
Diamondback red line tires. For safety, the braking system utilizes
a dual system with electric over hydraulic power disc brakes. The
body is all-original and was completely stripped and professionally
body-worked with laser-straight panels and proper gaps. The car was
then stunningly finished in House of Kolor Lexus Candy Apple Red
metallic with slightly contrasting coves ghosted three shades
lighter and topped with a Haartz black cloth convertible top. A
fully restored color-matched hardtop is also included. The custom
double-stitched maroon leather interior has a matching dash, custom
door panels and reclining seats, Flaming River steering column,
Vintage Air operated by the original knobs, rebuilt gauges with new
electronics and a SkyDrive GPS speedometer. Other features include
QuickSteer performance power rack & pinion steering,
stainless-steel fuel tank, custom Dewitts radiator with electric
fan, an electric parking brake, power hood actuator, power windows,
side door mirrors with built-in turn signals, LED front bumper
running lights, custom Autosound stereo and hydraulic shocks on the
convertible top deck and trunk lid. The bumpers are tucked, all
chrome is triple-plated, stainless trim is show-quality, and it has
all new tinted glass and seat belts. World of Wheels "Outstanding
Engineered" award-winner. The sale includes an extensive photo
album of build.
