1962 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CUSTOM TOPLESS ROADSTER 'ELEGANCE'

This heavily pedigreed 1962 Chevrolet Corvette known as 'Elegance' has many subtle custom modifications that may be overlooked due to its sleek design. Finished in a one-off color called Champagne Mist, this custom topless roadster is powered by a 505hp LS7 engine with street and performance polished accessories mated to a polished 4L65E automatic transmission. Rounding out the engine bay is a polished aluminum radiator with stainless air-conditioning lines. The exhaust system is polished stainless with custom one-off tips, and the suspension is a fully polished C4 on a custom-molded chassis. The sleek design and body modifications on the front include removal of the bumpers, with solid grille rings accenting the front and matching side grilles. The coves were also fitted with custom billet inserts. The body modifications include widening of the rear quarters by 2 inches, raising the top body line 1 inch and lengthening it 1 inch. All body lines have been peaked and/or modified. The wheel openings have been altered to accept larger wheels, and the inner fenders were custom-made and molded to the body. All the bolts on the car are polished stainless, the hood and trunk latches were removed, and custom actuators were installed under the body panels and were completely molded in. All the wiring is hidden. Headlight rings were custom-made to eliminate the need for screws. A custom engine cover was fitted with an emblem that matches the side emblems. The leather interior was all custom-made, including seats, console and trunk. Billet spears throughout the interior match the billet side moldings. The car's awards include Detroit Great 8; Top Ten Builder Choice in Del Mar, CA; Top Ten Builder Choice in Loveland, CO; and Gold winner at Corvette Nationals in Chicago. It was also a feature car at the Hot Rod & Restoration Trade Show in Indianapolis, IN; feature car at SEMA in Las Vegas, NV, including Meguiar's 'Car Crazy' TV show and Top 12 of Mothers' Shine Award at SEMA; special guest at Long Beach MotoRama; and featured in the November 2011 issue of Super Chevy Platinum magazine. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
