This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette custom convertible is powered by a
650hp LT4 V-8 engine featuring a Wegner front-drive system, paired
with a 10L80E 10-speed automatic transmission operated by a
push-button electronic shifter and connected to a carbon-fiber
driveshaft. The engine is cooled by a DeWitts aluminum radiator. It
is built on a black-painted Roadster Shop Spec 7 chassis and
equipped with a fully independent C7 Corvette suspension. The
engine breathes through stainless-steel headers feeding
custom-built 2.5-inch stainless-steel side pipes with factory-style
chrome heat shields. Stopping power is provided by a C7 Corvette
Z51 brake kit with 13.5-inch rotors at the front and rear. The body
features 2-inch rear tubs to accommodate the wheel fitment. It
rides on wire-spoke-inspired 19-inch three-piece forged billet
aluminum wheels measuring 10 inches wide in the front and 11 inches
wide in the rear, wrapped in Continental Sport Plus tires, sized
275/30ZR19 in front and 300/30ZR19 in the rear. The exterior is
wrapped in Sikkens Black with a metallic Silver Ghost Stripe and
protected by a Glasurit clearcoat. It is equipped with factory
glass and a refinished hardtop. The interior is upholstered in
brown Nappa leather with custom-bolstered and thinned seats.
Sound-deadening has been applied throughout the cabin. The dash
houses Dakota Digital gauges and a Restomod Air climate-control
system positioned behind a standard steering column. A headless
Bluetooth unit controls a six-channel, 1,200-watt amplifier and a
12-inch subwoofer.
