This custom 1959 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by a
brand-new 2024 BluePrint 383ci GM small-block V8 engine paired with
a fully rebuilt BorgWarner T10 4-speed manual transmission. The car

between 2015 and 2023 that included powder-coating the chassis,
rebuilding the suspension with KYB shocks and installing Edelbrock
dual 4-barrel carburetors, custom finned valve covers and a
stainless-steel exhaust system. The body is finished in its
original blue using basecoat/clearcoat paint and retains correct
period styling. Interior work included a restored dashboard,
rebuilt AM Wonder Bar radio, new seat belts, refreshed upholstery
and replacement weatherstripping, with chrome and stainless trim
restored or refinished as needed. The car rides on BFGoodrich
Silvertown Radial whitewall tires.
