But as unique as old cars are, and as romantic as past times seem to be, theres no denying the positive effects of technology. For instance, a modern smart phone that connects you to the world in the blink of an eye is much better than some old rotary phone thats cord-bound to the wall. And I know youll agree that a sharp, highly interactive flat-screen TV is much more entertaining than a heavy tube thats made of shadows and ghostly figures. So whats a classic car lover to do when theyre torn between the style of Detroits golden era and the technology of Detroits modern sports cars? They take a good, long look at this killer Corvette custom! Combining classic Chevrolet form with a hot LS2, a custom Corvette Correction chassis and a leather-lined interior, this awesome C1 is a ground-up build that mixes the best aspects of yesterday with todays best advancements. If youre in the market for a solid collector car thats comfortable, fast, reliable and absolutely stunning, this no-compromise Vette is your next ride! Restored by renowned Corvette builder Billy Dawson of Corvette Correction in Seguin, Texas, this contoured resto-mods solid, fiberglass body has been massaged to better-than-new condition, layered in dynamic Viper Red paint and sealed in a glossy clearcoat shell. Like most C1s, the car was originally assembled at GMs new-for-xxxx St. Louis manufacturing facility; and like most restored C1s, its fit and finish presents much better now than it did 52 years ago. In fact, judging by the looks of this roadsters smooth fuselage, theres no evidence it has ever seen any catastrophic damage or botched fix jobs. And today, the car is one fully-sorted classic that, thanks to its modern drivetrain, can be proudly shown and reliably driven day in and day out. xxxx to xxxx was a banner era for the Corvette, as Chevrolet wanted to prove its new flagship could run with the best cars in the world while retaining the classic style that created an American sensation. Interestingly enough, that was also an essential goal of this roadsters restoration: to mix a platform that can school todays top sports cars with a form that is undeniably sexier. At the front of the car, a bright red grille rides between round, chrome-trimmed headlights, extravagant Corvette header ornamentation and small, chrome-trimmed parking lamps. In front of that grille, an intricate bumper bends around dramatic fenders which trace red, blue and silver Corvette emblems in pristine stainless trim. Between those fenders, a sculpted hood leads the eye to a classy wraparound windshield thats cleared by modern Rain Gear wipers, capped by a fresh Coffman top and flanked by stainless-trimmed doors. And at the base of that fresh black top, a sculpted ducktail decklid hangs a translucent Corvette roundel above a chrome tag bracket, traditional Corvette tail lights and a second chrome bumper that bends around equally dramatic quarters. Tilt the cars bright red hood and youll find a fully detailed engine bay thats tapered around 6.0 liters of modern Corvette power! Built for reliable driving and effortless speeding, this roadsters GM-supplied LS2 crate motor has been tuned, polished and dressed to a solid 10 on the visual scale, and a solid 400 on the power scale. At the front of the smooth engine, a modern serpentine system, complete with a full set of Street & Performance pulleys, spins a chrome alternator behind a body-matched air tube thats equipped with a large, re-usable filter element. Once air enters that cone, it flows through a stock LS2 throttle body into a stock LS2 intake which is bolted down over completely stock internals. High octane fossil
