Vehicle description
63 Corvette split-window coupe restomod that I finished in early 2020 and am ready to move on so I can free up the space and cash for other projects. Here are the highlights:
- Black Sapphire Metallic (BMW) with mostly stock-looking black interior except for C5 seats
- Dakota Digital gauges; retro-look modern stereo; Vintage Air AC; Flaming River tilt wheel; power windows
- LS376/480 crate engine with TKO600RR trans and 3.42:1 Getrag differential from a C5 Corvette
- Custom under-car exhaust w/ chambered pipes for classic sound (loud and raspy)
- Aftermarket chassis (Chassis Concepts) w/ C7 suspension all around
- C7 Stingray brakes (Brembo) and wheels with Michelin PSC2 tires
- ABS (brand) electric-assist power brake master cylinder; power steering
Everything on the car is new (the body and trim are the only 1963 left on it), and it has just under 300 miles; hasn"t even hit its break-in fluid changes yet. I normally drive these cars more after finishing the project and before selling, but the pandemic hit just as I got it on the road; so it has basically sat for the last year, only getting started and driven short distances occasionally. It"s had a dyno tune, and it absolutely has all the power you"ll ever want in a car this light.
I tried to keep it looking like it would have in "63, both inside and out, to the extent possible. The only obvious giveaways are the wheels ( which you can"t hide when you go with the modern suspension and big brakes ) and the black leather C5 Corvette seats inside. I built this car to be very nice, but not so nice that you feel like you can"t take it out and enjoy it. I don"t think I"ve seen another 63 SWC in this segment of the restomod market. Most of what"s out there seems to be either project cars, or $300K and-up show cars with appearance modifications. Personally, I prefer the experience of driving something preserves the experience of an old car. I don"t see the point of a restomod where the interior looks like something out of Star Trek. A new Corvette would be a whole lot cheaper.
If interested, send me a message, and I can give you whatever details you want.
I included a few pictures of the car when it was recovered from the field where it previously sat for almost 45 years before being re-built. Interesting story. .
