If you want a 1967 Corvette convertible but don't want to worry
about all the problems that come with owning a classic car, a Resto
Mod like this one is the way to go. A proper Resto Mod is keeping
the classic lines of the original model while fitting it with
modern underpinnings, and this little red custom Corvette is an
excellent example of how to do a Resto Mod right. If it weren't for
the sporty wheels, a casual observer might even suspect it to be an
original. It is most definitely not original, but oh so much
better. With a Coffman Corvette chassis, the underside sports
double-adjustable coilover shocks and calipers and rotors from a C6
Z06 to make it handle like a supercar. Nestled under the hood is a
new 495 HP LS3 set up to look the part of an original L71 427/435
HP engine. Unless you look closely to see the fuel rails, you'd
swear it was born there. Gone is the whiney 4-speed, replaced by a
new smooth-shifting Tremec T56 Magnum 6-speed overdrive
transmission with a GM clutch.
The interior also received some upgrades, but it still looks
factory fresh. The new chassis has rack-and-pinion steering, so a
Flaming River tilt column now makes it easier for the driver to get
in and out of the white leather bucket seats with headrests. A
Dakota Digital RTX gauge cluster and clock replace the original
outdated units. Even the radio has been updated with Bluetooth
capability. A Vintage Air Gen IV climate control keeps the
occupants comfortable. The original emergency brake lever made way
for a pushbutton electronic unit, and switches on the console still
control the power windows.
The factory headlight and wiper motors were never known for their
reliability on these old classics, so Detroit Speed motor kits now
control both. As you can see, the upgrades on this Corvette are
modern amenities that make it much more enjoyable, safer and
reliable to drive while still in keeping with the original design.
It still wears all of the factory badging, trim and even
side-pipes, but you can get in and have confidence driving it
anywhere.
