1959 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CUSTOM ROADSTER

Details

This custom 1959 Corvette topless roadster was a Top 10 Finalist for Street Machine of the Year at Goodguys Columbus 2011 and was the cover car with a full feature in 'Vette magazine's August 2014 issue. Built from 100% new parts, starting with a custom Art Morrison chassis and Downs body. Exterior modifications include blue carbon-fiber inlays in coves, molded headlight buckets, closed-out eyebrows and custom C6 decklid. This is a true roadster with no top or side windows. The custom windshield

was cut down and laid back with hand-formed custom A-pillars, and it also features a molded recessed license plate, custom exhaust tips molded to body shape, molded LED driving lights with turn signals, custom CNC rear bumpers, custom hood and trunk hinges, and blue powder-coated C6 calipers. It rides on Forgeline ZX3s with 275/35/18 front and 325/30/19 rear tires. A custom LS3 376ci V8 engine with forged internals and tuned on a chassis dyno. The engine is paired with a TREMEC 6-speed manual transmission featuring a Ford 9-inch rear end with Strange 3.73 gears and axles. The custom interior took six months to complete. Interior mods include matching blue carbon-fiber inlays in the center console and doors, custom aluminum trim in doors, custom-shaped Corbeau seats, shaved door handles, keyless push-button start, custom color-matched four-point harness, custom Alpine stereo with two sets of 6.5-inch speakers in doors, Audison LRx 1530-watt amp, 10-inch Focal subs in a custom-tuned enclosure. Flawless Bentley Meteor Blue paint. No expense was spared in creating this one-of-a kind street machine. **TITLED AS 1959 CORVETTE KIT** **PRIOR RECONSTRUCTED BRANDED TITLE**
