Details

This 1957 Chevrolet Corvette was professionally restored over three years, underwent a fresh, frame-off rotisserie restoration and only has 125 shakedown miles since completion. This Corvette Resto-Mod offers both the iconic 1957 styling along with modern upgraded suspension and driveline. It is powered by a freshly rebuilt 5.7-liter dual-quad-powered engine mated to a Turbo 400 3-speed automatic transmission. It rides on a custom powder-coated Corvette chassis with independent front and rear suspension, a posi-traction rear end with 3.54 gears, rack & pinion steering, adjustable front coilover suspension, and billet aluminum upper and lower control arms and spindles. Braking is managed by a Wilwood master cylinder and 4-wheel Wilwood brakes with drilled and slotted rotors. It rides on custom-built Schott wheels wrapped with BFGoodrich G-Force ZR-rated performance tires. Other upgrades include power steering, Sanderson exhaust, an external transmission cooler and fan, high-volume oil pan, high-torque starter, high-performance aluminum radiator and an aluminum driveshaft. The chassis is highly detailed, as is the engine compartment, which features color-matched Cosmic Carbon paneling. The show-quality exterior is finished in a Cobalt Blue Metallic paint with complementary Cosmic Carbon-painted coves with a manual convertible soft-top hidden under the tonneau cover. The custom Butter Cream interior features leather seats with monogramed Corvette emblems, restored gauges and a modern Wonder Bar retro-style radio. The trunk area is also trimmed out in matching upholstery. The Corvette emblem on the trunk lid was designed to be a matching third brake light, and the car has vintage 1957 California gold plates.
