Details

This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Custom Coupe is powered by a heavily customized 5.7-liter Chevrolet LS1 8-cylinder engine and is mated to a TREMEC T56 6-speed manual transmission. The LS1 (2000) was machined and balance by Self Racing Heads & Engines of Durant, OK, and built by X33 Customs Dangerous Motors of Cushing, OK. It was bored 10 over and has a COMP camshaft, JE pistons and Cometic head gaskets. The heads were done by the late Jim Hayter, a former NHRA/AHRA Pro Stock driver and crew chief. Other custom upgrades are a 3.73 rear end, Vansteel coilover rear suspension and front tubular arms, Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes, BadAss stainless-steel exhaust built by X33 Customs from headers to tailpipe, including X-pipe. It features a custom interior by Ridler Award-winning Chuck Roland Interiors of Broken Arrow, OK. The dash is fitted with custom gauges by Classic Instruments. Other upgrades include a Billet Specialties steering wheel, custom console, Hurst shifter, custom Alpine stereo by Sound Advice with rear mounted subs and a backup camera system. The custom paintwork has been protected with AUTOTRIZ ceramic coating and looks as good as it did when it was painted. It looks menacing in that deep glossy black paint, with a dark red Stinger and a gorgeous black leather interior. This Corvette is riding on a set of 2012 Corvette-style Alloy wheels and Falken red line low-profile 255/30/19 and 225/40/18 tires.
