INTRODUCTION: The concept was to build a C2 Corvette as if GM was building it with modern technology, and they nailed it out of the park! They being B-Rod or Custom, specialists in high end custom Corvette builds. This widebody with a full custom chassis was also built with the intention of driving it. Yes, it was displayed at many prestigious shows including SEMA, the owner had the biggest pleasure behind the wheel heading down the highway!

EXTERIOR: They started with the wheels and the stance they wanted and built the body around it! There are extensive body mods, the changes are dramatic yet look subtle. It wasn't just given fender flares, the body was widened in a way that looks like GM may have done it. This includes widening the doors to match, even in the jambs it looks like the factory had done it. Other mods include an integrated chin spoiler, a stinger hood and fender scoops. The bumpers were widened and extra taillights were added to fill the extra space. The chrome and trim has been replaced, it has bowtie mirrors and the chrome in the fender scoops is off a C1 Corvette. Those 4 polished exhaust tips between the rear bumpers look aggressively good! All the glass was replaced and has a smokey tint. The paint is a beautiful Audi color: Daytona Gunmetal Pearlized, in the sun the different color metallics ready pop! The stinger stripe is smooth to the touch. The wheels look amazing, they are Schott wheels; 17x8½ in front, and 18x10s in back. They are wearing Nitto performance sneakers.

INTERIOR: The Merlot interior is a nice, rich contrast to the exterior. It was done by Steve Holcomb Pro Auto, I checked out his Facebook, he does some of the country's best custom interiors. 150 lbs of sound deadener was used in this car! The interior is covered in genuine leather upholstery. The C6 seats and door panels were custom made to match each other. The dash pads, headliner, visors, kick panels, rear panels are leather as well. It has a full set of custom instrumentation. A Custom Auto Sound hands-free stereo delivers tunes to 4 speakers. It has custom cut carpet front to back. The Flaming River tilt column has a custom wheel. The best part, the funnest part is the paddle shifter! You can drive this car like a modern sports car.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Wow, that is a GM Performance, aluminum 6.2 liter LS3 crate motor making 480hp! It has an LS hot can, fabricated stainless headers and 1 off custom covers. The front of the motor has the modern components including a one wire alternator, mini a/c compressor, power steering and billet serpentine pulleys. It also has a drive by wire cruise control and a one off split intake tube. An aluminum water pump and radiator with an electric fan keeps it running cool. The master cylinder is polished billet and has electric power brakes.

UNDERSIDE: There isn't anything under this car that is 1964 anymore! It has a complete custom Street Shop Inc chassis with C4 suspension. The frame is new, the suspension components are aluminum, it has coilover adjustable gas shocks at all four corners. Custom low profile 3 inch exhaust with Billy Boat Z06 mufflers with control valves exit through 4 center mounted chrome tips. It uses ABS Bear brakes with drilled and slotted discs at all 4 wheels. Looking up at the motor it is all aluminum with a high torque starter. The trans is really trick, it is a TCI 6X 6-speed electronic overdrive automatic trans. TCI uses the GM 4L80E as the base and modifies it to run 2 more gears and handle 850hp. Out back is a Dana 44 rear with 3.54 posi gears and a Street Shop cover.
