1958 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CUSTOM CONVERTIBLE

This custom 1958 Pro-Touring Corvette Resto-Mod was built from the ground up and is powered by a brand-new 6.2-liter LT1 direct-injected C7 Corvette engine that produces 460hp and 465 ft/lbs of torque mated to a brand-new 4L70E automatic transmission. It has a beautifully detailed engine bay with a smoothed firewall and sculpted fender wells. The car sits on an Art Morrison GT sports chassis with an IFS C7 front suspension kit a triangulated 4-bar rear suspension with a 9? rear end and power rack & pinion steering. The frame was powder-coated in a semi-gloss/satin black and the control arms and rear suspension are polished aluminum. This Resto-Mod has Wilwood brakes with 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers on 13? rotors which provide stopping power to the staggered Budnik wheels. The body was stripped down to bare fiberglass and blocked over until it was laser-straight with great body gaps lines and curves. It was then finished in House of Kolor Jet Black with a House of Kolor clear coat. Every piece of metal on the car has either been chromed or polished. Air conditioning is provided by Vintage Air with period-correct vents. The Ferrari-inspired interior features keyless entry push-button start imported Italian Alcantara suede-wrapped dash and top-of-the-line Nappa leather also imported from Italy. The steering wheel is custom wrapped to match the dash and seats and is attached to a chrome Ididit steering column. The gauge cluster was replaced with Dakota Digital HDS series gauges. **TITLED AS A 1958 CHEV RECON** **SOLD ON BONDED TITLE**
