Description
This 1960 Chevrolet Corvette custom convertible is powered by a BluePrint LS3 engine producing over 535hp, paired with a Gear Star 4L60E automatic transmission and an Inland Empire aluminum driveshaft. Additional components include a carbon-fiber intake and Matson polished aluminum radiator with a high-performance fan. A Stage 3 C1/C7 chassis from Chassis Concepts is powder-coated bright silver and features C7 spindles, upper and lower control arms and Detroit Speed power rack-and-pinion steering. C7 Brembo 14-inch slotted and drilled brakes feature six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers. The fiberglass body underwent a body-off restoration and was mounted on a rotisserie before being cleaned, primed and modified with a smoothed cowl, firewall and inner fenders, Kindig flush-mount handles and a smooth belly pan. Following multiple primer coats and blocking stages, the body was finished in Meadow Mist Green with Linen White covers and four coats of House of Kolor Show Clear. Green-tinted glass and a tan Al Knoch convertible top complete the exterior. The interior is finished in Italian Linen hand-rubbed leather with a smooth custom dash, Dakota Digital gauges, a custom Corvette Dynamics leather-wrapped console and a control tower housing Vintage Air controls and a Rock Solid Bluetooth audio system. Nu-Relics power windows, Wise Guys leather-wrapped reclining seats with extended travel and German square-weave wool carpeting complete the interior. The build was completed over two years.
