Details

This beautiful 25th Anniversary 1978 Chevrolet Corvette is owned—and was customized by—legendary NASCAR Hall of Famer Rusty Wallace. It has previously been featured in the Hot Rod Power Tour, where it was driven by Rusty at several tour stops throughout the United States. RK Motors in Charlotte, NC, completed the restoration on what was a one-owner car. At the heart of this classic American muscle car is a beautiful 450hp Chevrolet ZZ383, custom assembled and dyno-tested by world-famous engine builder Doug Yates. The engine is mated to a high-performance and quick-shifting Tremec 5-speed transmission and has custom dual side exhaust. A VBP high-performance suspension with fiberglass front and rear springs means that this car handles great. Meanwhile, its high-performance SSBC brakes not only stop the car on a dime, but their cherry-red calipers give the car an extra-aggressive look as well. The outside of the car is as exciting as under the hood. It features custom Jet Black paint with metallic silver stripes and red accents. This 'Vette's American muscle is put to the ground by an aggressive set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires mounted on custom Forgeline chrome wheels, with 18' wheels in the front and 19' in the rear. The car's interior is as aggressive as everything else, featuring a pair of custom black leather sport seats with red trim. A set of Auto Meter Elite GPS gauges complete the car's high-performance look, and a stereo with SiriusXM radio and Bluetooth provide great music while driving this fun car.
