1965 Chevy Corvette Stingray on Jay Leno’s Garage
Car guys tend to gravitate toward each other, which is no surprise why Jay Leno took such a serious interest in this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Restomod. Featured in an episode of Jay Leno’s Garage, the two vehicle pundits discuss the car’s history and the process it took to revitalize this beauty.
Steve Strope and his team at Pure Vision brought the build to life, sparing no technical consideration when fabricating it. Under the hood, the whip is strapped with a stock LS1 and juiced with a Magnusson supercharger. After some tweaking of the custom brackets, the supercharger fit like a glove under the factory style cowl induction hood. Joe and Jay open her up on the freeway to hear the Maggie blower scream as the supercharged ‘Vette pistons fire.
Though the segment is exceedingly entertaining, when Jay was driving, Joe was visibly nervous to be riding in the passenger seat- made me laugh! Taking it back old school for the next car, Joe’s throwback beamer is sure to catch some eyes..
