Wow, I love this Corvette! Only 1,300 miles on a high quality body
off frame restoration with some very significant upgrades! Air
conditioning, yes you read that right, plus power rack & pinion
steering, disc brakes and more to make this stunningly beautiful
car actually perform as good as it looks.
EXTERIOR: They did a great job retaining the classic 1962 Corvette
style while giving it a very modern appeal. The fit of the body is
better than it was in 62. The fiberglass is in excellent shape. I
don't see any damage or repairs, all the gaps are precise and the
doors shut with ease. It's been painted in a gorgeous base coat
silver that is laid out evenly. The clear coat gives it a wet
looking finish. The trim sparkles like jewelry! All the stainless
is straightened and polished, the chrome was replated. The
windshield and seals were all replaced. The convertible top frame
was restored and upgraded with rich black canvas material. The
wheels are a beautiful enhancement. Performance redline tires are
wrapped around the premium 18 inch Schott wheels.
INTERIOR: Holy cow this interior is amazing! Not only does it look
amazing but it is comfortable and the workmanship is top notch. All
custom glove soft leather trim on the sport seats, custom door
panels, dash pad, grab bar, custom console, and visors. The floor
is covered with premium square weave, hand cut and sewn carpet
along with matching mats. The original style steering wheel was
made smaller for easier in and out and it's also wrapped in a
leather cushion grip. All the gauges were restored, it has the
correct style shifter even though it's now a 5-speed. And of
course, it has air conditioning neatly installed. Red seat belts
were installed as well.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The high level of workmanship is also obvious
in here. The powerplant is a GM crate Ram Jet 350 which features a
vintage looking fuel injection with modern technology and makes 351
hp. A perfect choice for this car! It also features an electronic
ignition as well as chrome valve covers and alternator. The Vintage
Air uses a polished compressor and don't forget there is also power
steering and a dual reservoir master cylinder. Keeping it cool is
an aluminum water pump and radiator with proper shroud, new fan,
and polished overflow tank. Every screw is proper and clean!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Beautiful! It has been boxed and upholstered to
match the interior. Under the trunk lid is painted slick and of
course the weatherstrip was replaced.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame and the chassis was
completely restored and has some nice, upgraded features. The front
end steering and suspension was completely rebuilt and it now has
rack and pinion power steering. The rear suspension was rebuilt and
upgraded with air shocks. The fuel system was all replaced. The
brake system was completely redone with new lines, the e-brake
assembly is hooked up and it now has disc in the front. A perfect
sounding custom dual exhaust system with Accelerator mufflers was
neatly installed. Looking up at the crate motor it's still clean
and it's attached to a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission. A custom
drive shaft leads back to the restored rear end. The floors are in
excellent shape still showing a large percentage of its original
raw fiberglass. The chassis nicely painted black. We have a picture
of the completely restored chassis before the body was set back
on.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
I love how they merged modern appeal and function while retaining
the vintage charm. Again, the quality is high and your pride will
be too owning this one. I wish had 20 of these, but I don't so hit
that "buy it now"!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
