1958 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CUSTOM CONVERTIBLE

This 1958 Corvette Resto-Mod is powered by a 525hp 6.2-liter LS3 engine from GM Performance which is coupled to a T56 Magnum Tremec 6-speed manual transmission and a Dana 44 rear end with a 3.73 ratio. The car was built by Houston Corvette Service in Texas with a high-quality finish and attention to detail. The car has been driven only road test miles. It is wired with a GM wiring harness and computer matched with an American Autowire wiring harness for the peripherals. The car boasts Vintage Air power steering 4-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension mounted on a black powder-coated frame from Corvette Correction in Sealy TX. Hoses and harness are essentially hidden from view for a clean professional look. The engine is cooled by a Be Cool aluminum radiator with electric fans designed to go on by thermostatic control or when the air conditioning is on. The interior while appearing almost original sports Classic Instruments gauges modern Wonder Bar radio with Bluetooth and USB port and power windows. It has a complete leather interior over original door panels custom double-stitched leather seats and dash pad along with a leather-lined trunk. The car is finished in Tuxedo Black PPG paint and clear coat. The body is smooth with tight lines and smooth surfaces. As a final touch the original door handles have been replaced with flush-mounted C5 door handles. The hood opens with remote-controlled actuator lifts.
