1967 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster “540cid/665HP” TAKEOFF!!! Beast
This is a spectacular restored Corvette. It left the factory in St. Louis in this gorgeous color. It was a 427/435 hp and like many of these cars, the motor was damaged. A new LS6 454cid Chevrolet block was stroked and bored to 540 cubic inches. It has a special set of high-performance heads as well as a special aluminum intake manifold and monster carburetor. The camshaft is an Isky Hydraulic roller cam and the exhaust system consists of tuned headers and 2 1/2″ stainless from front to back. The transmission is a correct M22 with a 4:11 posi-traction rear end. We made a short video and you can get a quick idea of the awesome performance this car delivers. I was only able to get on the throttle 50-60%. The road we took the video is narrow and what this car really needs to see it perform at it’s capabilities is a good set of “slicks”. There is no doubt this Corvette is capable of turning 1/4 mile elapsed times in the low 10′s with a good set of “slicks” and a skilled driver.
