1967 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CUSTOM ROADSTER

Details

This custom 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible is powered by a Dart small-block Chevrolet engine with modern internals, cooling, balancing and a modern serpentine belt drive. The block was built by Oches Performance and has clearance for the larger crank to get 427ci of displacement producing 530/560 ft/lbs of torque. The exhaust is a long-tube header with a collector spike to control the airflow. The TREMEC 5-speed transmission tunnel is lined with a gold heat shield to reduce heat transfer to the passenger compartment. The exhaust is finished with custom bends and TIG-welded by a master welder. The frame was sandblasted, fully repaired and reinforced at the rear for added strength. After welding was completed, it was put in a jig to ensure it was straight, then afterward it was powder-coated. Stopping power is provided by Wilwood 6-piston calipers in the front and 4-piston rear brakes; all brake and fuel lines are new stainless steel. This Corvette has a RideTech adjustable coilover setup with ride height and ride quality adjustability and rolls on custom Billet Specialties wheels, 8x18 fronts and 10x18 rears. The entire wiring harness and light bulbs are all new from Lectric Limited. The interior was completed by Finish Line in Santa Clara, CA, and it was designed to enhance the OEM interior. The seats were custom-built for the car to match the rear deck height and are leather and Alcantara. The dash pads are Alcantara with a French seam. The glovebox

door is the original one that came with the car. The instruments and gauges are all original mechanical gauges, fully restored to show-quality. The steering wheel is slightly smaller than OEM Grant wheel and connected to a modern Borgeson power steering unit, so it steers like a modern car. Windshield wipers haven't been used but work, and are the original red dot wipers that come on the car. Over $50,000 (invoices included) has been spent on body and paint. Every seam was corrected and 1.5-inch flared rear quarter-panels were installed. The birdcage was fully repaired. All photos of the restoration are available to the buyer.
