Vehicle Description
This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window coupe received a
professional restoration and custom build by Factory Hot Rods. The
build started with a clean, original factory GM body, which was
rotisserie-restored and upgraded with the latest in modern
technology. Its foundation is an SRIII custom round super-tube
chassis with C7 Z06 Corvette suspension front and rear. It has been
modified with a 2-inch stretch on the rear floor for more comfort
and to accommodate taller drivers. This Corvette is powered by a
new 755hp LT5 supercharged GM Performance crate engine with a GM
Performance Connect & Cruise system and a custom tune. The engine
is mated to a TREMEC Magnum 6-speed manual transmission. Stopping
is handled using ABS electric over hydraulic power brakes with a C7
Z06/Z51 performance brake package with HD 6-piston calipers and HD
14-inch rotors. The rear end has a Winters quick change with a 3.55
gear ratio. Other features include Viking coilovers with 18
different levels of ride control, HD Z06 sway bars,
high-performance Stiletto Quick Steer power rack & pinion, ZR1
axles and hubs, and a stainless-steel fuel tank with a ZL1 pump
built in. Other details include a clean engine bay painted to match
the body color, filled and smoothed lower fenders, added steel
support behind the seats for strength and comfort, a custom
polished high-flow radiator, custom Wegner drive system, Billet
Specialties steering wheel, a custom big-block Stinger hood
operated by a Progressive Automations actuator, triple-plated
chrome bumpers, polished stainless headers with a 3-inch side
exhaust, a Vintage Air system operating off the original control
knobs, Detroit Speed headlamp motors and 7-speed wiper system,
power windows, custom air intake, electric parking brake, custom
Classic Instruments gauges with new SkyDrive, outside mirrors with
built-in turn signals and a polished tilt steering column. The
exterior color is Ferrari Bianco Italia (Pearl White) over a red
custom leather interior with double stitching on the dash and
interior components, a custom Autosound stereo with Bluetooth,
tinted LOF glass and shoulder harness belts. This Split-Window
rides on Schott wheels (18x9 with 275 Nitto Performance red line
tires in the front and 20x12 with 345 Nitto Performance red line
tires in the rear). This fresh build was completed in 2023 and has
roughly 100 test miles. The sale includes a photo album of the
complete restoration/build and an owner/operator manual.
