Details

This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette split-window custom coupe is the recipient of an extensive restoration to Resto-Mod Pro-Touring specifications. It is powered by a fuel-injected 5.7-liter 350ci V8 engine with full custom accessories, including a color-matched engine bay with LSC Speedmaster-fabricated engine mods. The engine is mated to a custom-built 4L70E 4-speed automatic transmission controlled by the custom center console shifter. During the restoration, the body was frame-off restored and received subtle custom body fabrication while preserving the classic lines of the Split-Window, including widening the rear quarters to accommodate the larger performance custom rims and tires, custom big-block Stinger hood and side exhaust. The fit and finish of the panels and custom body modifications were hand-fitted and finished in custom Thunderstruck Silver Metallic exterior paint. The undercarriage has also been restored, along with the chrome bumpers and brightwork, and the stainless-steel components have been restored and professionally polished. Additional specifications to this vehicle include hideaway headlights and a custom driver's mirror. Braking power is provided by 4-wheel disc brakes with drilled and vented rotors. This vehicle also features fabricated upper control arms, power steering and a DeWitts aluminum radiator. The restoration was designed and created to blend the Split-Window styling with updated and modern muscle car options for improved reliability and performance. This Corvette features a full custom leather interior with bucket seats, a console, custom door panels, a custom headliner, a custom Billet Specialties Formula aluminum steering wheel with custom column tilt power steering and a rear reverse parking camera. It is also equipped with aftermarket air conditioning, a Bluetooth-equipped Autosound stereo system and power windows. LED lighting is located throughout the cabin, engine bay and chassis, and it operates correctly with the flip of a toggle. This vehicle rides on custom aluminum billet-style 5-spoke wheels with custom Corvette cross-flag center caps on performance 265/35/20 rear tires and 245/35/18 front tires.
