Known as "Redline," this Pro-Touring 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Custom
Split-Window Coupe was handcrafted by Troy Lundquist Restorations
to high-show quality standards and completed in 2022. It's been
decorated with prestigious awards that include First Place and Top
10 at Autorama, along with Best Street Machine at ISCA (pictures of
the awards are included with the sale). This example is one of only
10,594 Corvette Split-Window Coupes ever built. The original
factory GM body was restored on a rotisserie focusing on the
structural integrity, fit and finish, including reinforcement of
known C2 stress points. The laser-straight body with precise gap
lines was finished in Firecracker Red. The fenders were decorated
with "Fuel Injection" red, white and blue crossed-flag emblems.
This Corvette was outfitted with all glass and trim pieces
throughout. It rolls on Schott Mach 5 18-inch front and 20-inch
rear wheels that are mounted to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S red-line
tires. The rear was modified with 4-inch mini-tubs to accommodate
the massive rear tires. Inside, a custom interior by Dale Hancock
Upholstery blends period-correct design with contemporary comfort
featuring saddle leather and black suede. The headliner was trimmed
in tan suede, and the floors were covered with matching
German-weave carpeting. The custom sport leather seats were made
from the original C2 seats and modified to accommodate taller
drivers. Some interior features include Dakota Digital gauges,
Flaming River tilt steering column, Billet Specialties Victory
14-inch steering wheel, a Vintage Air climate control system, power
windows, and a full-length center console with cup holder and
storage. The sound system includes a Custom Autosound radio, JL
Audio amplifier and speakers. The immaculate engine compartment is
home to the GM Performance 376ci LS3 that's factory-rated with
525hp. The engine was outfitted with original-style Corvette black
finned valve covers and a custom cold-air intake. The engine
breathes through custom stainless headers and a dual exhaust system
with MagnaFlow polished mufflers and resonators. The engine is
cooled by a Griffith aluminum radiator with dual SPAL electric
fans. The engine is coupled to a GM Performance 4L70E automatic
transmission. A switch on the center console puts the transmission
into performance mode. The power is transferred to the Strange Ford
9-inch limited slip rear end with Strange 31-spline axles and 3.73
gears. The body sits on a new Art Morrison chassis that was
powder-coated black. The floors were refinished in high-gloss
black. It's equipped with power rack-and-pinion steering, stainless
fuel tank, tubular upper and lower control arms, four-link rear
suspension, Strange coilover adjustable shocks, and Wilwood power
four-wheel disc brakes with red calipers and drilled and slotted
rotors. This vehicle has been serviced and detailed which is
documented with an invoice. From the MS CLASSIC CARS Collection.
