This 1962 Corvette convertible replica is a marvel of automotive craftsmanship, seamlessly blending aesthetic allure with formidable performance. Boasting a crate LS3 engine, a new 6-speed electronic transmission, and a bespoke chassis, this vehicle is a paragon of custom engineering. The meticulous previous owner infused it with an array of bespoke features rarely seen on a C1 Corvette, and it has only accumulated 250 miles since its completion. No expense was spared in crafting this singular masterpiece.
EXTERIOR: This entirely custom fiberglass body, evocative of a 1962 Corvette, consists of just seven panels, ensuring impeccable alignment and seamless operation of the doors, which are equipped with C5 Corvette handles. The bodywork is flawless, with a mirror-like Daytona yellow paint finish, meticulously applied and polished to perfection. The vehicle features a custom pop-out gas door and electronically operated hood and trunk compartments, enhancing its modern convenience. Fresh glass with new seals, a dark brown canvas top, and pristine chrome trim complete the exterior, which sits on Billet Specialties Mag G wheels—18 inches in the front and 20 inches in the rear—shod with high-performance Michelin Pilot SS tires.
INTERIOR: The interior is a cocoon of bespoke luxury, featuring dual power seats from a C4 Corvette, reupholstered in a rich brown material. Custom-mounted speakers, a modern automatic shifter with a manual option, and a Pioneer App radio with a touchscreen display controlled by an iPhone are just a few of the advanced features. The dashboard, heavily modified to resemble that of a C1 Corvette, is adorned with Dakota Digital gauges and a push-button start. The interior also boasts an upgraded tilt steering column, a custom billet aluminum steering wheel, and meticulously crafted door panels. A new dark brown canvas top and matching brown carpeting complete the luxurious interior.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The custom engine bay is a study in simplicity and elegance. The hood, operated at the push of a button, reveals a new crate LS3 engine rated at 430 horsepower, adorned with custom body-colored engine covers. Upgrades include Mast fuel rails, a Billet Specialties TruTrac serpentine drive system, and S&P ceramic-coated headers. The cooling system features an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans, stainless steel braided hoses, AN fittings, polished aluminum lines, and stainless steel fasteners. Additional features include GM Type II power steering, an SBS master cylinder with a remote filler, and a Vintage Air Gen II ComPac A/C and heat unit.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk compartment, like the rest of the vehicle, is meticulously executed. The electronically operated lid is painted to match the body, with new weather stripping and full carpeting. The professional craftsmanship is evident throughout.
UNDERSIDE: The underside of this vehicle is equally impressive, featuring a C4 Corvette rack and pinion steering system, powder-coated independent suspension components, and adjustable coilover shocks at all four corners. The brake system includes Baer Pro Plus 88 6-piston calipers with slotted and drilled rotors. The custom dual exhaust system, complete with O2 sensors and Dynaflo mufflers, exits through polished rectangular tips. The fuel tank has been upgraded, and the crate LS3 engine and 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission appear pristine, with no visible leaks. All components are mounted on a custom-built 5″ box design frame by Street Rods Only, painted to perfection.
SERVICE: Our professional mechanics have thoroughly inspected this vehicle, repairing the air conditioner, aligning the window tracks, and ensuring it is in top condition. This masterpiece is now ready for the road, offering a unique blend of form, fit, and function. Save yourself the time and expense of commissioning such a build and instead consider this expertly crafted, turnkey show car, ready to be driven and enjoyed.
