Finished in sharp metallic blue paint, this is the custom C3 Corvette you've been dreaming of! Killer looks, the perfect stance, proven drivetrain, modern amenities, and a high quality restoration, - it doesn't get any better!
Produced in March 1972 and equipped at the factory with the base 350/200 HP small-block V-8 engine, this custom third-generation Corvette now packs the serious punch of GM's remarkable LS3 crate engine. At 376 CI displacement, it was originally rated at 430 HP, but GM engineers designed a new more aggressive camshaft to raise output to 495 HP and 473 lb-ft of torque. Here it is managed by a GM engine control module and engine harness and fitted with a Concept One Victory Series polished pulley system and carbon fiber upper components.
The smooth LS3 is mated to a modified Tremec Magnum 6-speed transmission, assisted by a hydraulic cluthc, which feeds power to the ground via a heavy-duty driveshaft and half shafts. Corvette suspension specialists Vansteel provided the car's offset trailing arms and front and rear coilover suspension with QA1 adjustable shocks, and Wilwood was called upon for the complete braking system, including 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers, the master cylinder and the proportioning valve. Additional upgrades include Borgeson power steering, Vintage Air and, Foose 18-inch, two-piece, custom-finish wheels wrapped in Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires with a Dakota Digital TPMS.
Beyond the striking exterior, the car's contrasting black interior uses C6 bucket seats, a padded steering wheel and Dakota Digital instruments for an updated feel. The reboot of this Corvette also included a host of welcomed amenities such as power windows, keyless entry, Bluetooth touchscreen stereo, and a back up camera.
With its unmistakable sports car profile further enhanced by a killer modern stance, this performance boosted C3 Corvette is sure to please and will undoubtedly be a hit wherever you take it. Call us today to make it yours!
