Ford Vs Chevrolet: Five Of The Best Restomods From Each Marque

November 7, 2017

Chevrolet Corvette

Oh, the Chevy Corvette…where would we be without you? Without a single doubt, it’s one of the most famous series of cars ever made. From the C1 to the Z06, they’re all world-famous. I don’t think there’s any other name that can boast that. For this entry, we’re going to look at a restomod of my favorite edition: the C2, aka the Sting Ray. This restomodded 1967 Sting Ray convertible may cause consternation among some Chevy fans, but it is very, very cool. Crafted from a 427/435, of which 3754 were made.

Under its beautifully sculpted hood, you’ll find an LSA engine as seen in the Camaro ZL1, outputting a joyously raucous 556 horsepower and 551 ft/lb of torque. To give the driver the most control they can have, the engine is mated to a five-speed Tremec TKO manual transmission. The original wheels have also been replaced with those from a Z06 to compensate for the dramatic increase in power. Despite the car’s new components, the intention was to keep as much of the original’s spirit as possible. Hence, for example, why the decklid’s been crafted from a mixture of a C6’s parts with a C4 latch, in an attempt to emulate the original’s look. It’s a work of art, and a painstaking one at that.
