1958 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CUSTOM CONVERTIBLE

This 1958 Corvette twin-turbo LS1 is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 engine and 6-speed manual transmission. With floors dropped 6 and footwells pushed forward 2 the seating position and driving experience is unlike any other C1 Corvette. The seats also have integrated shoulder belts for safety and have been molded to fit the waterfall. Beautiful red leather covers the seat dash and door panels. The Vintage Air blows through custom Mercedes air-conditioning vents molded under the dash and wrapped in leather. Keyless entry and push-button start finish up the beautiful interior. Under the functional louvered hood you will find twin 58MM turbos pulling fresh air from the hidden air boxes behind the front bumpers then flowing into the intercooler. The power is amazing dyno-tuned to a very conservative 509rwhp. The engine bay has been cleaned up by relocating the brake booster and master cylinder under the dash and finished in satin. The fuel tank has been relocated to the rear of the car with a hidden filler under the drivers side taillight rear bumpers were modified and molded to fit tight to the body along with molding in the exhaust tips into the rear bumpers. The custom chassis with modern Corvette suspension and coilovers at all four corners was powder-coated black chrome. The brakes have been upgraded to 14 C6 Z06 calipers and rotors on both the front and rear with one-off custom-designed wheels from Kompression wrapped in Nitto Invos. The body of this Resto-Mod has been worked to near perfection and finished in 2011 factory Corvette color Supersonic Blue with new cloth soft-top from Coffman Corvettes. This stunning example is a fresh build with only 340 miles since completed. This car retains all of the beauty of the original car with the functionality and comfort of a modern car.
