1957 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CUSTOM CONVERTIBLE

Details

This 1957 Corvette was professionally built from the ground up. The floors have been lowered 4”, the seats moved back 2” and the footwells extended to provide a favorable seating position for taller drivers. The seats have been molded to fit the waterfall with integrated shoulder belts for safety. Red leather covers the interior, which contrasts well with the Supersonic Blue exterior paint and new black cloth convertible top. Push-button start brings to life a 6.2-liter Gen V LT1 engine that

puts out 455 ft/lbs of torque, backed by an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifter and side-exit exhaust with chrome bezels. The SRIII Motorsports chassis was powder-coated in black chrome and fitted with modern Corvette suspension, QA1 coilovers at all four corners and upgraded brakes with 6-piston front and 4-piston rears with 14' rotors. It rides on custom-made Schott Modsport wheels with Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires. The fuel door has been hidden under the hinged taillight for a clean look, and the bumpers have been modified to fit tight to the body. The engine bay has a custom red plenum cover. In the trunk is a handcrafted 3-piece set of luggage built just for this car and covered in the same leather as the interior, including the natural leather straps to hold them in place.
