Details

This custom 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split-Window Coupe is powered by an LS9 ZR1 V8 crate engine with a polished supercharger rated at 638hp and 604 ft/lbs of torque, cooled by a custom aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. The engine is backed by a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission coupled to a Dana 44 independent rear end. Stopping power comes from a Hydratech hydraulic-assist braking system controlling 6-piston Wilwood calipers on the front and 4-piston Wilwood calipers on the rear. The underside features a highly polished mandrel-bent MagnaFlow stainless-steel exhaust system, all set in a red, powder-coated chassis from Street Shops with fully adjustable coilover shocks on all four corners. Everything is either chrome, powder-coated, stainless or aluminum, creating a very functional chassis. The exterior is finished in Mercedes-Benz Brilliant Silver over a custom Porsche CanCan Red interior, created by Chuck Rowland Car Upholstery in Oklahoma. Interior features include one-off seats, console, door panels and trim, a Vintage Air system, power windows, power door locks, a Classic Instruments custom dash, leather-wrapped steering wheel, Daytona weave carpet, a custom Focal sound system and an alarm. The car rides on custom Schott wheels wrapped in Michelin performance tires. The sale of this Corvette includes a custom red cover that matches the interior, as well as a storyboard for showing. The car has been driven less than 550 miles since the build was completed.
