When it comes to building second-generation Corvette restomods, they don’t come much better than the cars from Jeff Hayes Customs out of Bloomington, Indiana.
Hayes just completed this overwhelmingly nice red 1963 Corvette split window in March, and now it’s up for sale at no reserve at the inaugural Barrett-Jackson Houston Auction set for Sept. 16-18.
If you were to compare the new 2022 Corvette’s official EPA fuel economy ratings to those issued back in 2020, you would see an increase of 1 MPG in the city, but a drop of 3 MPG on the highway. That drop in the highway rating wasn’t because there were any significant changes to the LT2 powertrain, it’s because a majority of buyers are selecting the Z51 Performance Package.

As a fan of the Chevrolet Corvette, we’ve always been enamored by the artistry from its designers going all the back to its founding in the early 1950s. Designer Larry Shinoda was someone who was able to put pen to paper and come up with some of the most beautiful artwork that represented future Corvettes and we’ve detailed a number of others that followed in his footsteps.
