1958 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod – LS1-Powered Custom Roadster

This 1958 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod pairs the timeless shape of the C1 era with modern Corvette performance underneath. It rides on a new body built by Street Rods Only, mounted to a custom frame with C4 Corvette suspension, power rack-and-pinion steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, and adjustable coilovers. Power comes from a fuel-injected LS1 5.7-liter V8 mated to a 4L60 4-speed automatic, so you get effortless starts, strong torque, and relaxed highway manners. Custom touches like Lokar billet electric door openers and a power-operated hood and trunk lid make this a head-turner at every stop. If you don’t like attention, this isn’t the car for you.
