Vehicle Description
This custom 1956 Chevrolet Corvette Resto-Mod convertible received
a professional restoration and Pro-Touring build. Its foundation is
a powder-coated Street Shop chassis equipped with C4 independent
front and rear suspension and coilovers. Power comes from a modern
5.7-liter Chevrolet LS engine with an aluminum radiator with two
electric fans and ceramic-coated headers feeding a stainless-steel
rear-exit dual-exhaust system paired with a TREMEC 5-speed manual
transmission. Stopping power is courtesy of a Hydratech Hydro-Boost
power-assisted disc brake system. Keeping with the original look
but adding modern amenities, this Pro-Tourer also has power
steering, a Flaming River steering column, a Vintage Air system,
contemporary Wonder Bar-style radio with a trunk-mounted JVC
12-disc CD changer and two fire extinguishers. This Corvette is
finished in Venetian Red with a red hardtop over a red interior and
rides on 16-inch stock-looking wheels wrapped in classic wide
whitewall tires.
