Vehicle description
This custom 1963 Chevrolet Corvette convertible with a removable hardtop is a professionally built Resto-Mod completed in December 2023 by Crown Concepts of Tucson, AZ. Power comes from a brand-new aluminum LS7 427ci V8 engine paired with a TRTremec EMEC T56 Magnum 6-speed manual transmission and a carbon-fiber driveshaft, sitting on a Roadster Shop SPEC 7 chassis and Dynamic Corvette floor and tub kit. Finished in Magnetic Red, it features a sculpted widebody design, tucked bumpers and chrome by Ogden Chrome. It has C7-style electronic door openers and custom rear diffusers, Baer 14-inch disc brakes, polished HRE 309M forged wheels (19x10 in front and 19x12 rear) wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Inside is a C8-inspired cabin finished in premium tan leather, with Braum Elite seats, a Dakota Digital instrument cluster and a Vintage Air climate-control system. The custom interior is enhanced by a Pioneer head unit integrated with Audio Control and Morel components for a rich, high-fidelity sound. Every component, engine, gearbox, chassis and interior, was built brand-new, not restored or reused. This car's debut appearance was at the 2024 Barrett-Jackson Cup Competition.
