With restored Corvette roadsters being six-figure collectables in factory-correct condition it takes quite a bit of nerve to pull the gloves off and frankenstein a killer pro-tourer. But as youll see the results are definitely worth the six figures it required to finish this amazing car as few C2s possess its combination of sheer performance and classic style. Ready for a first class build that combines everything great about the storied Sting Ray with technology thats more akin to a modern Z06? Here it is!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Sealed in glossy Metallic Black 2-stage this slick Corvette is the beneficiary of an extensive ground-up restoration that appears to be very fresh. In addition to better-than-factory alignment the cars body features super sinuous appeal thanks to custom fenders and quarters that employ much more flare than stock. That bodys combination of form fit and flash was reinforced by fully shaved emblems and high-gloss clear which naturally has been buffed to a wet-looking shine. And today this striking Sting Ray rolls as one of the coolest classics in our 274 car showroom!

Whats the point of flaring the fenders of an already sculpted classic unless you REALLY emphasize the cars unique athletic demeanor? I mean we all know that Corvettes with flared fenders are awesome cars! But therein lies the issue: the hobby already has tons of awesome classics. So why not go all out and try something a bit different? That was probably the main line of thinking behind this Chevys striking aesthetics. At the front of the car a deleted bumper makes way for a custom nose-clip which centers a large billet grille between a flat header frenched parking lamps and a molded chin spoiler. Above that clip a C3-style hood traces an LT-1-style stripe in front of bright wipers stainless-trimmed glass and weather-free canvas. Below that glass 67-style heat extractors lead chrome door handles a trademark bowtie mirror and massaged rocker guards. And at the back of the car an ornate fuel filler caps correct razor blade bumpers 67-style taillights and polished stainless exhaust outlets.

ENGINE

Believe it or not unique athletic demeanor might be a bit of an understatement for this Chevy. Tilt the cars lightweight hood and youll find a clean 502 cubic inch big block thats been built polished and tweaked to major horsepower and earth-moving torque! A rich mixture of oxygen and fuel is supplied by a big Demon 4-barrel which floats between polished fluid lines and a polished Kandamp;N X-Stream air filter. That carb rides on a polished aluminum intake which is mated to a color-keyed block via bowtie-branded heads. Those heads hang polished and milled valve covers between polished and etched breathers and coated long-tube headers. At the back of those tubes a color-keyed distributor bounces spark between a color-keyed coil adjustable MSD ignition and high quality Taylor plug wires. In front of those wires a polished serpentine drive spins a polished Edelbrock water pump between a polished alternator a modern AC compressor and modern power steering. That pump feeds a shrouded aluminum radiator thats parked in front of polished water tubes and a polished flex fan. And all that first class hardware is detailed with items like polished fluid reservoirs a polished master cylinder and chrome dipsticks.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

Weve said it time and time again and the old adage still proves true. A pro-tourer simply isnt an authentic pro-tourer unless its significant power enhancements are augmented by significant chassis upgrades. Thats the only way 100% of the cars performance potential will ever be realized. Accordingly this spry Vettes smooth Satin Black
