Joe Rogan’s 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Restomod
The previous owner sunk some serious cash into the 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Restomod , giving it solid bones from it’s original brittle state. The chassis on the rig is a tube chassis, which didn’t take well to the LS1 motor when trying to install that, plus a supercharger. After some fancy footwork, a little finesse and some custom brackets, Steve Strope was able to marry the two sublimely.
The shocks and suspension were taken off of a 2010 Corvette to give it an improved modern day feel while driving. The breaking system, like the suspension system, was upgraded to a modern iteration for the better technology, as well as ease of access to spare parts that will need to be replaced such as pads and rotors. The Vintage Air brand air conditioning unit provides that reliable modern human comfort, that goes hand and hand with the upgraded all black interior. An 18′ cue ball gear shift was installed to complete the look, per Joe’s request.
This car was so well made, one of the best late night TV show hosts, and car consummate, had Joe come onto his garage segment to display his custom car collection..
