This custom 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe nicknamed
the "Black Widow" is powered by a Mast Motorsports Black Label LS7
V-8 engine producing 665hp and 575 lb-ft of torque, paired with a
Tremec TKO five-speed manual transmission. Power is delivered
through a Dana 44 rear end equipped with 3.73 gears and heavy-duty
rear axles. The build is based on a custom SRIII Motorsports
chassis fitted with C5 suspension and adjustable coilover shocks.
Steering is handled by a power rack-and-pinion system with a
Flaming River steering column. Cooling is provided by a DeWitts
aluminum radiator, and the engine connects to a side-exit exhaust
integrated into the body. Stopping is managed by Baer six-piston
calipers with 14-inch cross-drilled rotors. The exterior was
restored from a factory GM body using a rotisserie restoration
process and refinished in black paint. Exterior features include
tucked bumpers, a custom front spoiler, custom rear diffuser,
custom side mirrors and front turn signal driving lights. The car
rides on Centennial Edition Corvette 19x10 front wheels and 20x12
rear wheels fitted with 335/25/20 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup red-line
tires. The interior is trimmed in black Italian leather with red
double stitching and matching carpet. A custom carbon-fiber dash
and door panels complement the build. It is equipped with a
Restomod Air climate-control system and a custom Competition Sound
audio system with GPS mapping, MP3 and Bluetooth capability.
Upgraded shoulder harness seat belts are fitted for driver and
passenger safety.
