This custom 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by a
Dart small-block Chevrolet engine with modern internals, cooling,
balancing and a modern serpentine belt drive. The block was built
by Oches Performance and has clearance for the larger crank to get
427ci of displacement producing 530/560 ft/lbs of torque. The
exhaust is a long-tube header with a collector spike to control the
airflow. The TREMEC 5-speed transmission tunnel is lined with a
gold heat shield to reduce heat transfer to the passenger
compartment. The exhaust is finished with custom bends and
TIG-welded by a master welder. The frame was sandblasted, fully
repaired and reinforced at the rear for added strength. After
welding was completed, it was put in a jig to ensure it was
straight, then afterward it was powder-coated. Stopping power is
provided by Wilwood 6-piston calipers in the front and 4-piston
rear brakes; all brake and fuel lines are new stainless steel. This
Corvette has a RideTech adjustable coilover setup with ride height
and ride quality adjustability and rolls on custom Billet
Specialties wheels, 8x18 fronts and 10x18 rears. The entire wiring
harness and light bulbs are all new from Lectric Limited. The
interior was completed by Finish Line in Santa Clara, CA, and it
was designed to enhance the OEM interior. The seats were
custom-built for the car to match the rear deck height and are
leather and Alcantara. The dash pads are Alcantara with a French
seam. The glovebox door is the original one that came with the car.
The instruments and gauges are all original mechanical gauges,
fully restored to show-quality. The steering wheel is slightly
smaller than OEM Grant wheel and connected to a modern Borgeson
power steering unit, so it steers like a modern car. Windshield
wipers haven't been used but work, and are the original red dot
wipers that come on the car. Over $50,000 (invoices included) has
been spent on body and paint. Every seam was corrected and 1.5-inch
flared rear quarter-panels were installed. The birdcage was fully
repaired. All photos of the restoration are available to the buyer.
