A top-shelf body-off build sporting a classic gasser-style tube front axle, wild, custom-built headers with removable collector caps and through-the-hood injector stacks, this 1961 Corvette convertible has been given the full treatment for a mesmerizing presentation highlighted by superb bodywork and excellent fit and finish.
Based on a custom frame by Nickey Chicago technical advisor John Tinberg, its two-tone silver-and-gray paint scheme is the only external element that evidences the slightest restraint.
Eight injector stacks draw the eyes to the car's 502 CI Chevrolet crate engine, which has been bumped to 600 dyno-proven horsepower on pump gas with a cam upgrade and electronic Hilborn fuel injection with Holley computer controls.
A neat extra touch:
to keep things cool under the hood, the inner headlight bezels were opened up to channel extra cooling air into the engine compartment.
A rebuilt Muncie M22 Rock Crusher 4-speed backs it up, and a new Strange Engineering 3.
70:
1 Positraction rear end is hung with old-school ladder bar and coilover suspension.
A restored hardtop and new tinted glass cover the custom black leather interior, which features Wise Guys seats, a padded C1-style steering wheel, Hurst shifter and dash-mounted Sun tachometer.
Tailored for the street but capable of blistering the quarter mile, this is the best of both worlds for classical gasser fans.
