1959 Chevrolet Corvette

Description

World Class Vette-Rod Custom LS3 V8 6-speed Art Morrison Chassis And Leather.

This custom 1959 Corvette topless roadster was a Top 10 Finalist for Street Machine of the Year at Goodguys Columbus 2011 and was the cover car with a full feature in Vette magazine's August 2014 issue.

Built from 100% new parts, starting with a custom Art Morrison chassis and Downs composite body. Exterior modifications include blue carbon-fiber cove inlays, molded front headlight buckets, closed-out eyebrows and custom C6 decklid. This is a true roadster with no top or side windows. The custom windshield was cut down and laid back with hand-formed custom A-pillars, and it also features a molded recessed license plate, custom exhaust tips molded to body shape, molded LED driving lights with turn signals, custom CNC rear bumpers, custom hood, custom trunk hinges, and blue powder-coated C6 brake calipers.

This one-off Vette rides on Forgeline ZX3s with 275/35/18 front tires and 325/30/19 rear tires.

A custom 500 horsepower LS3 376ci V8 engine with forged internals that was fully tuned on a chassis dyno. The engine is paired with a TREMEC 6-speed manual transmission pushing power out to the Ford 9-inch rear end with Strange 3.73 gears and axles.
The custom interior took six months to complete and interior mods include matching blue carbon-fiber inlays in the center console and doors, custom aluminum door trim, custom-shaped Corbeau seats, shaved door handles, keyless push-button start, and a custom color-matched four-point harness.

Sound is provided from a custom Alpine stereo with two sets of 6.5-inch speakers in doors, Audison LRx 1530-watt amp, 10-inch Focal subs in a custom-tuned enclosure.

All this power and looks are wrapped in a flawless Bentley Meteor Blue paint. No expense was spared in creating this one-of-a-kind street machine.
