1964 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod

Description

This 1964 Chevrolet Corvette keeps the iconic C2 silhouette, but it has the modern fuel-injected LS1 engine. Plus, take the time to look over the sleek paint, upgraded interior, overdrive transmission, and custom dark style that's all part of a distinct restomod build.

The meanest Corvettes are in red or black, and so when you create a powerful restomod with growling side pipes you do it in red AND black. The glossy red paint is not only aggressive but it also helps show how crisp the body is everywhere from the crease in the roof to the flush fit of those iconic hidden headlights. And the black is a well-coordinated package that shows off the best in performance and custom. So we like it on the classic pieces like the two-piece bumpers, side pipes, and even the trim has a midnight kind of style. Plus, the black bezels showcase the three-piece tail light kit (always a cool way to show off a custom C2,) and the black insert of the upgraded stinger hood is a great way to acknowledge a powerful coupe. So it's a full package that loves to announce it's an updated car that also respects its history. Even the wheels follow this theme. After all, you could get American Racing alloys for your Sting Ray back in the day, but these are a modern design with a modern 18-inch size that ideally fits with the car's dark side.

The black accents of the outside also go nicely with the full black interior. It looks good with newer carpeting, classic door panels and a nice headliner. It even gets the details right for a cruiser with everything from an upgraded AM/FM/cassette stereo to the working dome light. But what you'll like best is that this restomod was made to be a true driver. That means a nice set of well-bolstered modern bucket seats. The steering wheel is an upgraded sports unit, and beyond that is a full digital gauge package with a cool blue glow.

Under the hood is a 5.7-liter LS1 V8. It has been so expertly installed, it almost looks like they put this modern fuel-injected heart in on day one. In fact, the engine cover is a custom piece that even mimics part of the classic Corvette valve covers. But the overall impression of this car is one that was built for driving, and the engine bay continues that feeling. You have updated pieces like the ICT billet coil brackets and a DeWitts aluminum radiator with electric fans. The motor fires up with the kind of readiness you can only get from a modern FI machine. The Hooker shorty headers add extra power as they feed the side pipes. And the upgraded cam means even more muscle and thunder. The upgraded four-speed automatic transmission delivers versatile gearing with overdrive comfort. The Sting Ray is a great driver's car because it has a fully independent suspension. And you'll also spot nice driving features like Wilwood four-piston caliper front disc brakes, power steering, and wide modern ZR-rated tires.

Complete with the owner's manual, this is an iconic coupe made into a distinctive power car that's all-around fun. Call today!!!
