Details
Completed in 2024 by Burning River Restomods in Berea, OH, this custom 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe is powered by a GM 6.2-liter 650hp supercharged LT4 engine paired with a 6L80E transmission and Speartech powertrain harness. The original body was stripped, the rear tubs were installed to accommodate the wider wheels in the rear, the floor was then extended and lowered to give more headroom as well as up to 4 inches of legroom for the driver and passenger, and the interior floor was then LizardSkin-sprayed and had Kilmat installed for durability and insulation to quiet the cabin. The exterior floor was then smoothed and painted in matching Dark Metallic Gray to take this build to a higher level of detail. The exterior of the car was smoothed, all gaps tightened and then was coated in a custom Dark Metallic Gray. The engine compartment was also updated with Corvette Dynamics smoothed firewall closeout, and then the engine bay was detailed and painted in the same Dark Metallic Gloss to tie it all together. The body was then set on the Art Morrison GT narrowed independent rear suspension (IRS) chassis, which was powder-coated in accenting black with the suspension components painted in a Metallic Silver: stainless-steel brake lines, a Rick's custom gas tank with factory GM pump, RideTech adjustable coilovers and red springs to bring the detail of the chassis together as well. Stopping power comes from Wilwood 14-inch brakes with 6-piston calipers up front and 4-pistons in the rear. This car also features RestoMod Tech custom LED headlights, which still give the appearance of the original headlights but when powered on, the lower portion of the lid moves down to reveal the much more modern LED projectors keeping the upper lids in place to attain a sleeker look and driving experience. The interior features a custom Mulberry leather, with accenting Apex Ultra Charcoal square-weave carpet, matching leather-wrapped dash, custom leather-wrapped door panels and custom console, as well as rear panels and headliner. Specifically placed LED lighting throughout gives the car a modern feel. The instrument cluster, glove box and portions of sidepipe covers and wheel centers were all done in a custom Silver to tie the exterior, interior and engine itself together. Other modern conveniences include Dakota Digital HDX gauges and clock, Rockford Fosgate stereo, power windows, a Vintage Air system, American Autowire body harness, Detroit Speed wiper system, and an Iditit chrome steering column with tilt wheel. The car sits on staggered Schott split-window wheels and red line tires. All the stainless on the car was either polished to show-quality or replaced, as was the chrome. The state of Ohio only allows actual mileage on a title if it is the actual original odometer that was in the car when new; however, when the odometer was replaced with Dakota Digital gauges, the title must then be marked as odometer discrepancy or true mileage unknown (TMU) in the state. The current mileage showing is from when the build was completed and miles put on the car since then. **TITLE BRANDED NOT-ACTUAL WARNING: ODOMETER DISCREPANCY**
