This 1960 Chevrolet Corvette custom convertible underwent a
two-year C1/C7 build, beginning with a complete body-off
restoration. The fiberglass body was mounted on a rotisserie and
then cleaned, primed and modified with a smoothed cowl, firewall
and inner fenders, along with Kindig flush-mount handles and a
smooth belly pan. After multiple primer and blocking stages, the
car was finished in Meadow Mist Green with Linen White coves and
four coats of House of Kolor Show Clear. A new Stage 3 C1/C7
chassis from Chassis Concepts was powder-coated bright silver and
equipped with C7 Brembo 14-inch slotted and drilled brakes with
6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers. The suspension features
C7 spindles, upper and lower control arms and a Detroit Speed power
rack & pinion. Power comes from a BluePrint LS3 engine producing
over 535hp, paired with a Gear Star 4L60E automatic transmission
and an Inland Empire aluminum driveshaft. Additional components
include a carbon-fiber intake and a Matson polished aluminum
radiator with a high-performance fan. The interior is finished in
Italian Linen hand-rubbed leather with a smooth custom dash, Dakota
Digital gauges, a custom Corvette Dynamics leather-wrapped console,
and a control tower housing Vintage Air controls and a Bluetooth
audio system. Nu-Relics power windows, Wise Guys leather-wrapped
seats with recline and extended travel, and German square-weave
wool carpeting complete the cabin. Green-tinted glass complements
the exterior, and a tan Al Knoch convertible top is installed over
the one-off custom chassis, which was powder-coated bright silver
to match the C7 suspension. This one-of-a-kind custom Corvette
blends C1 styling with modern C7 performance and comfort.
