Details

This custom 1958 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was professionally built with a brand-new GM LS3 crate engine. It features Corvette-style valve covers, Ultimate headers and a Borla stacked injection system with a Holley Terminator engine management system. It is paired with a 4L60E automatic transmission that was professionally built to 4L70E standards. It features an Art Morrison chassis that has both independent front C7 and rear suspensions, with a fully adjustable ride height and RideTech coilovers. Stopping power is provided by an electric braking system featuring Wilwood brakes with 6-piston front calipers, 14-inch rotors and stainless-steel brake lines. It rides on one-off custom wheels made to look like the original hubcaps, featuring shaved red line tires for a custom appearance. It has power rack & pinion steering, a Tanks Inc. gas tank with a Walbro fuel pump, custom Current Performance wiring harness, a Holley Terminator computer, electrically activated hidden automatic hood ram, Dakota Digital VHX gauges and LED lighting throughout. The frame was powder-coated in a tasteful gray contrast color, while the body is all-original and was completely stripped with glass beads before being finished in PPG Black water-based paint and Global High Solids clear. The same attention to detail was performed on the bottom side of the car, which was painted with a bed-liner material. The interior, done in a rich red leather, features double stitching and concaved custom seats for a truly custom appearance with a hand-stitched custom billet steering wheel. This interior also includes a brand-new stereo with a large 9-inch screen with Bluetooth, amplifier and six speakers. It has features Vintage Air with custom air conditioning vents integrated below the dash. The convertible top was completely restored in a Stayfast material matching the black exterior color. It was just completed in March 2023, with only test miles driven.
