Details

Completed in October 2020, this frame-off restored 1965 Corvette Resto-Mod is powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine rated at 430hp and matched to a 4L60E automatic transmission with a Dana 36 rear axle. Spent gasses exit via a dual exhaust system with BadlanzHPE exhaust cutouts to adjust the flow. The custom convertible features RideTech front and rear suspension, as well as a RideTech Tru Turn steering system. Other features include Vintage Air, power steering, Wilwood disc brakes, power windows and an AM/FM Bluetooth radio by Antique Automobile Radio Inc. Inside, the Corvette has a programmable instrument cluster by Intellitronix that replicates the factory 1965 look, as well as a new factory replica electric clock. The rear quarters have been widened 1.5 inches, and the 'Vette rides on 245/45R17 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires. The L88 Stinger hood, the side fiberglass exhaust covers and the black-painted ZR1 spoke patterned wheels have red accents to complement the stunning 'Blue My Mind' blue exterior paint. The custom interior is black leather with red stitching on the dash pads, doors, console, visors and seats with custom removable headrests. The new convertible top is navy, as is the custom-fitted carpeting. The shifter boot is made to look like a standard transmission shifter and a special utility tray behind the seats keeps small items from shifting around while blasting the corners. Highly documented, the build was photographed during restoration and all receipts and manuals are included in the sale.
