Engine details: |
It's not known what original engine came with this car. |
Other details: |
The car was modified and non original when i purchased it, so I decided to transform it into a full restomod. It now has an SRIII Chassis with C5/C6 Suspension, GM LS3 376/525hp Crate Motor, Tremec 5 Speed Conversion, ABS Electric Braking System, upgraded wiring, Autometer gauges, Leather power seats, powered windows, Smoked tint glass, vintage air conditioning, Rack and pinion power steering, and a custom stainless exhaust system. I've done my best to keep the exterior stock looking minus the custom wheels. I also painted the car back to its original black with black interior from emerald green with tan interior. In my opinion, black is one of the most stunning colors on a midyear Corvette. |

Car history: |
Car was found in someones back yard in the early nineties. The differential had been removed and the frame rails were sitting in the mud, which caused them to rot. The original engine was already missing at this time and the car had been painted red. The previous owner, the one i purchased the car from, did an extensive restoration on the car, which included removing the roof and firewall to repair section of the windshield frame and drip rails. He then upgraded the suspension on the stock 63 frame and installed a seventies 350 cubic inch engine and converted the manual transmission to automatic. When i purchased the car, i removed the body and sold the upgraded rolling chassis with engine and transmission to a Corvette enthusiast in Georgia who planned to use it on his 64 Convertible. I started prepping the car for the restoration/conversion in June of 2013, but only really began working on the car in late September of 2013. The paint was finished in early February 2014 and the car is now almost completed. The corvette will soon be on the road and ready for a 500 mile break in period before going up for sale |
