1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Restomod
This Cinderella story of a restoration was one for the books, carrying with it a laundry list of issues. Joe ordered the 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Restomod, almost in disrepair, from RK motors in North Carolina. However on inspection he realized it could be brought back from the dead.
What came with the car upon purchase was a foul burgundy interior, shotty suspension, leaky fuel tank, poor handling mechanics. As a matter of fact, Joe stated after the finalize sale, he was driving the car back to his home and pulled into his driveway, minutes after traveling 70+ mph on the freeway, the suspension on the car completely disconnected from the frame. Upon taking the dash board apart, the restoration crew noticed the center structure brace had been severed to make room for the ECU, compromising the structure of the car. Needless to say, the car needed some work- but nothing is impossible!
