1969 Chevrolet Corvette Description
Classic Car Fusion is excited to offer this newly restored and customized 1969 Corvette convertible ZL-1 clone. Completed in 2012, this street/road race car has a custom built Shafiroff Racing aluminum block 509 with all forged and coated internals, T&D valve train, roller street cam, and road race oil pan. Mated to a new Performabuilt 4L60E "Level III Invincible" automatic transmission with HGM controller and a Gearvendors 5th gear electric overdrive for highway cruising (75mph @ 2200rpm) this Trans-Am style C3 is as comfortable on the freeway as it is on your local road coarse. Backed by a Dana 44 with 4.11 gears and a REM polished and reinforced case, this car puts down 640HP at 5900rpm allowing it to run low 11 seconds in the 1/4 mile. Traction is put down through Mickey Thompson Street Radial ETs wrapped around lightweight Bogart LS6 17x11 wheels, while J-56 brakes with ti rotors and Hydroboost helps bring everything to a stop. The body has one off custom fiberglass Trans-Am style fender flares, front splitter and rear spoiler. Below is a list of more engine and suspension components.
