Details

This 1960 Pro-Touring-style Corvette was professionally built with the new 6.2-liter LT1 direct-injected Corvette engine that produces 535hp, 470 ft/lbs of torque and a 4L75E automatic transmission. It has an Art Morrison C7 chassis, fully adjustable ride height and JRI coilovers. The frame was powder-coated in a shade of silver to match the cove color. The braking power is provided by Wilwood with C7 6-piston calipers, 14' rotors and stainless-steel brake lines. It also has power rack & pinion steering, Aeromotive 340 Phantom Stealth in-tank pump, Fragola Teflon fuel lines and fittings, GM wiring harness and factory-programmed computer. The body is all-original GM and it was completely stripped with glass beads. The driver's side firewall was pushed 3' forward. The paint is a PPG custom mix and Global High Solids clear. The same attention to detail was performed on the bottom side of the car, which was painted with a black ceramic coating. All body gaps are excellent, the body panels are laser-straight, and the fit and finish is great. The engine bay was finished to high standards, and great attention was paid to render the wiring nearly invisible. The hood is push-button electric-operated, and the stainless and chrome on the car is all-original and finished to high standards. The interior of the car was done in Italian leather, with double stitching on the dash and panels adding a custom touch. The seats are concaved for additional seating room as well. Dynamat Extreme and Jute backing were added for sound-deadening, and Dakota Digital’s new HDX matte silver gauge package was also installed. Vintage Air Gen IV Super Cooler system with controls was integrated for the original factory look. It has a new stereo made to look like the original 1960 Wonder Bar stereo with Bluetooth, JL amplifier, subwoofer and Focal speakers. The convertible top was completely restored, powder-coated and has new bushings, latches and a contrasting Navy Stayfast top that complements the car. This Pro-Touring Corvette has 200 test miles since its completion.
