1963 C2 on a C4 chasis w/ ZR-1 motor
 

The Corvette Club meeting last Saturday morning is where I saw this car. It has 200 miles. A C4 frame and suspension with a ZR-1 motor. C5 seats. The owner of the shop started the car up much to my amazement. A very cool oddity. Selling price well you guess and I will say after a few.

:cool:

C2 Restomod with an LT5 is very :cool:

Probably priced north of $130,000 though.

63
 

Not sure if that's the same one or not, but I think there's a Youtube out there on that car, or one very much like it.

I'd give my left nut for that car. You only need one anyway, right ??:hide::hide:

IMO, the only way that could be improved is if it were a 63 SWC for that combination...and I'd want for nothing else in this life:smash: But waaaay:cool regardless:!!:yesnod:

I thought I had seen snapshots of that car earlier and it might have been a "split-window" and sported a AZ tag "63-LT5". In the OP's snapshots you can't really see the rear vision(s). Did the car also have a later hood?

Now THAT is a C2 I'd want to own.

I believe to the aficionados it's a "Mid-Year"! I believe I heard an owner "correct" someone in the vicinity of one at a local show here a long while back.

Regardless it's certainly quite a piece but most of those mid-years are quite nice regardless of resto-rod "status" a driver or a restored original piece.

Sweet! Do i win it If I guess correctly?.... 150K

Looks to be a 63 to me. Windshield trim, roof louvers, early doors, 63-64 style door panels, etc. Can't see the split but probably there.

You are right its a 1963 split window. The frame is a custom frame made by Street Shop Inc. The suspension is C4 and motor / transmission LT-5. The asking price is $179,000.

Beautiful just beautiful...what more can you say?..other than wishing it was in your own garage.

God I'd love to hear what that sounds like with the side pipes!

That would definitely surprise the crap out of some ricer.

Nice Vette but: If I were able to drop 179K on a ride I could probably add a few $$ & score a 458 Ferrari.

Why?

That '63 would run circles around a 458...and look cool doing it!

You can see 458's everywhere...not so with a full custom '63 with an LT5 and C4 suspension.

The car is on display at Corvette Performance in Scottsdale AZ. It was built by a guy in Tucson. That is about all I know but you can call the store if you have any questions. I have tried to post the video from my cell but the site won't unload it. I have to guess that those headers were custom made. They have a curve that goes to the side pipe and just looks cool man. I don't know any details about the LT-5 ? I can say with certainty it was more than likely taken apart and put back to together again. Has anyone heard of that custom frame shop Street Shop Inc ?

They are quite well known and in Alabama:

Some prefer the SRiii chassis:

There are of course others.
