Vehicle Description
This Corvette is a state-of-the-art, no-expense-spared custom
frame-off restoration with the original 1954 Corvette classic
exterior look. All its mechanical components were rebuilt or
restored during that time. It is powered by a brand-new, recently
installed GM Performance LS3 430hp engine backed by a Richmond
5-speed manual transmission with long shifter, and a GM wiring
harness with a computer. The body has been mini-tubbed with a
narrowed Currie Ford 9-inch posi-traction rear end. It is equipped
with front and rear power disc brakes, a new Jim Meyer front
suspension, including tubular A-arms, Viking adjustable coilover
springs, power rack & pinion steering, and Hooker cast-iron headers
with custom 3-inch exhaust. It is also equipped with a Be Cool
aluminum radiator with electric fans and new American Autowire
wiring harnesses. The frame was powder-coated and finished in a
black base clear coat paint with re-chromed bumpers and windshield
assembly. All the weatherstripping was replaced, the undercarriage
detailed, and the convertible top frame restored with a new
Stayfast canvas top. The custom Al Knoch black leather interior
features leather-covered seats and door panels with the correct
1954 look, Daytona carpet, a custom Corvette Correction
leather-wrapped steering wheel with Ididit steering column, Classic
Instruments gauges, and a custom 6-speaker and 2-amplifier sound
system with trunk-mounted bass speakers and trunk-mounted battery.
