1968 COrvette Convertible

This car was one of the first over the top customs built here at Western Corvette. It came to us 3 years ago as a fairly tired race car recently purchased by a new owner. The car had some nice race car fabrication but was under powered with a poorly built small block as well as some other issues. The parts started rolling in and what we have now is a full blown, show stopping monster. The car is powered by a 600hp LSX 454, with GM fuel injection. Backing it is a built TKO-600 and upgraded differential from Tom’s Differentials. The first thing many people notice are the wheels, they are a custom 3-piece Boze Forged wheel, 18x10 in the front and 20x14 in the rear! Hauling it all to a stop are huge 14” Wilwood brakes, 6 piston calipers, and a hydra-boost set up from Vette Brakes. Of course all of this would mean nothing if it didn’t handle, so underneath the car is a custom coilover set up in the rear and Vansteel’s coilovers in the front, handling the steering is a rack and pinion from Speed Direct. In the interior the list goes on and on, with a host of goodies from Autometer, Hurst, and Billet Specialties among others. Lastly, tying everything together and strengthening the whole package is a beautiful chrome harness bar made by Western Corvette.
