Twin-Turbo 1963 Corvette Split Window Restomod Headed to Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale


Corvette restomods have a history of bringing in the big dollars at auction and we are expecting this twin-turbo 1963 Corvette Sting Ray to do very well when it crosses the block at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale auction later this month.

The auction’s online catalog describes the car as a “ground-up build with no expense spared” and that certainly appears to be true. The black restomod is powered by a twin-turbo 6.2-liter LT1 and coupled to an 8L90 8-speed automatic transmission. Where the original 1963 Corvettes had fake grills in the hood, the Black restomod features functional custom-milled billet vents which cover the intercoolers. The side pipes feature custom designed covers finished in brushed nickel.

Under the body is an SRIII Motorsports custom chassis with C7 Corvette Grand Sport front and rear suspension as well as C7 GS brakes and coil overs on all four corners. The black ’63 rides on custom true knock-off Forgeline RS6 wheels that are wrapped with Nitto Invo tires.

The interior maintains its classic styling but features the rich upgrades restomods are known for. The Sport Coupe is smothered in beautiful red Italian leather that covers the custom seats, door panels, dash and headliner. Classic Instruments gauges with silver faces give the driver all the info they need at a glance, and the tunes flow from a Custom Autosound vintage stereo. The driver of this very cool car will also be able to keep his cool as he scoots around town with a Vintage Air A/C system.
