Classic Car Overview

Earth Motorcars is proud to offer this stunning 1961 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod, built with modern performance and classic style in mind. This exceptional frame-off restoration blends iconic first-generation Corvette design with upgraded drivability, comfort, and performance throughout.

Power comes from a GM Performance LS2 V8 crate engine rated at 400 horsepower, paired with a 4L65E GM automatic transmission with an upgraded clutch disc. Performance upgrades include a Street Performance chrome pulley system, stainless MagnaFlow exhaust, and a stainless fuel tank and fuel lines for added reliability and durability.

This Corvette rides on a highly desirable Corvette Correction chassis featuring coilover suspension, four-wheel independent suspension, a Dana 36 rear setup, rack-and-pinion power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS. The undercarriage is color-keyed and powdercoated to match the Viper Red exterior, giving the car an impressive presentation from top to bottom.

The exterior is finished in refinished Viper Red and complemented by a tan Coffman convertible top, creating a timeless and striking appearance. It sits on chrome Z06 wheels, measuring 17 inches in the front and 18 inches in the rear, which perfectly complete the aggressive stance.

Inside, the cabin has been tastefully upgraded with Wise Guys/Al Knoch leather seats with adjustable backs, Vintage Air, All American Series Classic gauges, an Ididit steering column, and a custom AM/FM/CD Bluetooth audio system. The result is a cockpit that preserves the spirit of the original while adding the comfort and convenience expected from a modern restomod.
