Ragged to Restomod

1976 Corvette T-top Coupe “Crosstown Traffic” - This car was pulled out of a field where it had sat for nearly 10 years. After the body shop pointed out that the new owner couldn’t afford to have the car restored, my son rescued it just before it was to be scrapped and brought it home for me. Luckily it was still sound enough and I spent 3-1/2 years accomplishing the unaffordable restoration by doing it almost entirely by myself. 383cu in Engine, 450+ hp, Comp Cams, hydraulic roller cam, Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, Holley Hyperspark distributor, MSD ignition, Champion 3 core aluminum radiator, Jegs electric fans, TCI TH350 Streetfighter transmission, TCI high stall torque converter, Hydroboost hydraulic power brakes, Wilwood calipers and rotors, Borgeson quick ratio steering, John Greenwood road race style suspension: Tubular A-arms Coil over shock absorbers, revised suspension geometry, Dakota Digital RTX dash system, Retro Radio stock appearing updated sound system, Octane Lighting LED stock appearing headlights, rear view mirror parking cameras front and rear, C6 Corvette power heated side mirrors, hand built stainless steel side pipes, Classic Chambered Vette-pack mufflers, updated air conditioning, engine by Szegedy Performance, paint by Wesconn Auto Body, Graphics by Economy Signs, all else by me. Built not bought! It’s not a collector car, it’s not a show car, it’s not perfect, it’s a Hot Rod built to suit myself and I love it!
