CORVETTE ONLINE | Every Corvette enthusiast has an idea for the “perfect” Corvette floating around in their head. It might have been drawn on your “Pee Chee” in home room with the color, motor and wheels all meticulously massaged and thought out. Or in a folder on your computer that might have car show pics of other guys Vettes that you’re going to blend together into one super duper, show stopper.
For a lot of classic Corvette fans, the 1957 model is truly the holy grail of C1s and commensurately, their desirability, and values have skyrocketed over the decades. Unbeknownst to the general public or GM itself, these cars turned out to be timeless, rolling works of art that ethically and morally probably should be preserved.
Only problem with that old yarn is it ain’t a lot of fun. And with the resto-mod thing at a fevered pitch, a lot of guys have crossed the line and altered cars forever, causing concern amongst the faithful even if the results are light years ahead of the tired old rigs they replaced.
Well, Corvette Central has a perfect solution. They sell a darn near perfect repro body that is dimensionally accurate and faithful to an original 1957 Vette. What’s even better is that most every part from an original ’57 will fit on the new body. Add that to a cadre of proven aftermarket components available to marry to this brand new body and your dream Corvette is limited only by your imagination and your budget.
