Jeff Hayes Built Corvette Coupe Restomod LS3/525hp V8 Automatic Leather A/C /// A super slick showstopper that was built by Corvette artist Jeff Hayes, this Sting Ray's solid body was massaged to near perfection by American Speed Shop. Not nearly as pastel as GM's original single-stage, the car's Silver Pearl 2-stage looks absolutely rich under a Gunmetal Stinger Stripe. Raise the electric hood and you'll find 6.2 liters of small block fury! Officially known as the Chevrolet Performance LS376/525, that... hot crate engine twists respectable 10.7 to 1 compression into 525 horsepower and 486 lb./ft. of gravel pummeling torque. Behind that mill, a smooth 4L65E 4-speed deals power to a spry Dana 44 differential that's been borrowed from a sixth-generation Corvette Z06. That drivetrain rides a custom, fully powder-coated chassis that mixes a spry fifth-generation Corvette front suspension with a steady sixth-generation Corvette rear suspension. Turns come courtesy of power rack-and-pinion steering. Smooth and solid stops are provided by sixth-generation Corvette Z06 brakes, which squeeze 4 and 6-piston calipers around a quartet of drilled and slotted rotors. And torque meets the pavement through seventh-generation Corvette Z06-style blades, which spin Toyo Proxes 4 Plus redlines. Slip into this roadster's sublime, French-stitched cockpit and settle on bolstered bucket seats that wrap distressed leather around modern frames. A leather-trimmed dash fashions awesome carbon fiber dins around Vintage Air climate control, Bluetooth-capable, direct-fit audio and gorgeous Auto Meter American Muscle telemetry. At the base of that dash, a carbon fiber console frames a booted Lokar shifter. And the driver commands presence through a color-keyed Billet Specialties steering wheel, which laps a polished, tilting column. Call, click or visit for more information!
