Details
This second-generation 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe received a complete restoration and custom build by Factory Hot Rods and was featured at SEMA 2024. This high-quality build was designed to maintain the car's factory original identity while injecting it with modern power, performance and passenger comfort. Power is provided by a tuned GM LS3 525hp crate engine, with a polished sheet metal intake using a custom cold-air intake and EVOD polished Corvette script coil covers and a polished front drive system. The installation includes a new GM engine management harness and computer system with Lectric Limited RestoMod wiring harnesses, front and rear. Engine cooling is accomplished by a Dewitt polished radiator and passenger-compartment air conditioning by a Vintage Air system. It is also equipped with Stainless Works headers, halogen headlamps, power windows and power steering, and the engine bay was smoothed and painted the body color. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels with a GM 4L75E 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission. The build started with a clean, original factory GM body, with an original 1967 Stinger hood, in Daytona Blue. It was restored on a rotisserie and upgraded with the latest in modern technology. It has been modified with a 3-inch stretch in the rear floor combined with other modifications, resulting in a total of 8 inches between the steering column and the seat to accommodate taller occupants. Built on a SRIII super-tube chassis, it is fitted with C7 Z06 front and rear suspension, C7 Z06 front and rear sway bars and C7 Z06 Z51 performance brake package with 14-inch rotors, as well as dual hydraulic over electric power-assist brakes. The chassis is equipped with Viking coilover shocks with 18 different levels of ride control and ride height. The heavy-duty rear axles with Z06 hubs are turned by a Winters Quick Change center section with a 3.55 gear ratio and a Rick's stainless fuel tank with a high-volume fuel pump. Steering is accomplished by a Stiletto Quick Steer power rack & pinion operated by a Billet Specialties D-shaped wheel on a Flaming River column. This car connects to the asphalt with rear Michelin Pilot SS red line tires on 20x12-inch Schott Split-Window wheels mounted under the stock quarter-panels. The exterior is finished in Titanium Blue Metallic paint and optioned with tucked triple-plated chrome bumpers, Detroit Speed electric headlight motors, 7-speed wiper system, side mirrors with turn signals, polished brightwork and new tinted glass. The tailored interior features custom Daytona Blue leather with red double stitching and Daytona Hot Rod carpet. It also features Classic Instruments gauges with SkyDrive, a custom sound system with original look and updated with Bluetooth capability, and shoulder harness belts for safety. The sale includes a photo album of the build and an owner's operations manual.
