1961 CHEVROLET CORVETTE CUSTOM CONVERTIBLE

Built with no expense spared this 1961 Corvette started with a professionally stripped body. The underbody was coated with Scorpion bed liner to add sound-deadening as well as rigidity. Next the interior floors were applied with the Dynamat insulating sheeting to magnify the heat barrier and interior acoustics. The body was then meticulously hand-sanded and blocked to achieve laser-straight body lines and gapping. The car was then refinished in black base coat paint with charcoal coves and finished off with clear coat. The body was then set on a complete Art Morrison GT chassis including stainless brake and gas lines and Wilwood C6 braking Strange nodular rear center section and adjustable front and rear coilovers. Powering this Corvette is a GM 6.2-liter supercharged 650hp LT4 engine with custom-fabricated dual exhaust exiting out the custom rear tail panel and handling that horsepower is the state-of-the-art GM 8L90 8-speed automatic transmission. The interior features Al Knoch custom leather seating door panels leather dash accented with custom Daytona carpet and a custom-built console. Dakota Digital gauges fill the instrument cluster. Finally it?s finished off with a Stayfast convertible top. This Corvette is riding on a set of 18 Billet Specialties polished wheels and custom red line tires.
