1954 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CUSTOM CONVERTIBLE

Details

This Corvette is a state-of-the-art, no-expense-spared custom frame-off restoration with the original 1954 Corvette classic exterior look. All its mechanical components were rebuilt or restored during that time. It is powered by a brand-new, recently installed GM Performance LS3 430hp engine backed by a Richmond 5-speed manual transmission with long shifter, and a GM wiring harness with a computer. The body has been mini-tubbed with a narrowed Currie Ford 9-inch posi-traction rear end. It is

equipped with front and rear power disc brakes, a new Jim Meyer front suspension, including tubular A-arms, Viking adjustable coilover springs, power rack & pinion steering, and Hooker cast-iron headers with custom 3-inch exhaust. It is also equipped with a Be Cool aluminum radiator with electric fans and new American Autowire wiring harnesses. The frame was powder-coated and finished in a black base clear coat paint with re-chromed bumpers and windshield assembly. All the weatherstripping was replaced, the undercarriage detailed, and the convertible top frame restored with a new Stayfast canvas top. The custom Al Knoch black leather interior features leather-covered seats and door panels with the correct 1954 look, Daytona carpet, a custom Corvette Correction leather-wrapped steering wheel with Ididit steering column, Classic Instruments gauges, and a custom 6-speaker and 2-amplifier sound system with trunk-mounted bass speakers and trunk-mounted battery. Riding on Boyd Junkyard Dog chrome wheels with BFGoodrich radial TA tires.
