Details
This 1961 Corvette custom convertible is powered by a new factory-rated 460hp Corvette LT1 6.2-liter V8 direct-injected engine with Ultimate headers and full stainless-steel exhaust. The engine is paired with a 4L75E 4-speed automatic transmission. The Art Morrison GT chassis includes power rack & pinion steering, fully adjustable ride height and coilovers. The braking power is provided by Wilwood, with 6-piston calipers, 14-inch rotors and stainless-steel brake lines. The engine is cooled by a
custom-built aluminum DeWitt radiator finished in satin black, and additional cooling is provided by the custom-built hood. The stainless-steel fuel tank is built by Rick's Tanks. The paint was stripped off the body, with the plastic media-blasting method, and includes an Evercoat polyester primer topped off with Axalta urethane paint. This Resto-Mod is finished in Tasco Turquoise, with an oyster cove, and features a matching Stayfast convertible top. An oyster leather interior features custom reclining seats for added head and legroom. Vintage Air handles interior heating and cooling. The car was upgraded to Dakota HDX analog instruments, which include an electric-actuated hood-opener and a Bluetooth AM/FM Wonder Bar radio. The frame is powder-coated. The interior floor, firewall and underside are finished with LizardSkin ceramic coating for sound and heat control. The trunk is completed with Oyster leather and carpet. It rides on custom EVOD wheels wrapped in Michelin whitewall tires. The project was completed in November 2019, with over 1,800 hours invested in the build, and driven less than 200 test miles since completion.
