Ground Up Restored Corvette Restomod Coupe 725hp 540ci Merlin V8 5-speed A/C /// Every car has a story, and this Corvette's story goes a little something like this: A nicely restored coupe that attained NCRS honors, the car was eventually rebuilt into a Merlin-powered street beast that was specifically tailored to the tastes of ARCA driver Jeff Buice. Naturally, race car drivers like power... Lots of power! This Vette's incredible 725 horses, produced by 540 cubic inches of brash Merlin... big block, twists a tough Tremec 5-speed, which fronts a posi-traction rear-end that's built around 3.55 gears. That driveline pushes an independent factory suspension that's been beefed up with Penske shocks, tubular control arms, Vette Brakes & Products torsion bars and a composite Vette Brakes & Products mono-leaf. Traditional power steering leads power-assisted Delco Moraine calipers. And power meets the pavement through upsized alloy Rallys, which twist 255/45ZR17 Michelin Pilot Sports. That impressive scroll of components rolls in a detailed, body-off restoration that was completed in late 2015. Correct Marlboro Maroon 2-stage seems smooth as silk over solid body panels that are straight and well-aligned. And that alignment serves as an excellent canvas for a painted Stinger Stripe. Between the doors you'll find a stylish Saddle interior that weaves subtle upgrades into timeless style. At the center of the car, modern, 3-point belts cross plush leather seats that are finished with A82-style headrests. In front of those mitts, a 2-tone dash hangs restored factory telemetry next to cool air conditioning and modern, direct-fit audio. A factory shifter fronts chrome switches for the car's power windows. And a reduced diameter steering wheel spins around a tilting column. If you're looking for a stunning Detroit super star that has the muscle to back up its handsome looks, this clean Chevy is your next cruiser! Call, click or visit for more information.
