Customizing a classic is a task reserved for true professionals, the wrong upgrade or custom feature can ruin the aesthetic of your build without question. Present today is not just any custom build, but this 1954 Chevrolet Corvette, a rare 1st generation Chevrolet Corvette build that's done to perfection by the folks at Eckert's Rod & Custom wearing a custom chassis from Art Morrison and a plethora of neat surprises beneath the skin.
To sum up how special this 1954 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod truly is, this classic was formerly displayed at the National Corvette Museum in the Skydome Exhibit: not an easy feat considering this is, after all, a custom build. This custom classic is finished in Midnight Blue and sits on a Custom Art Morrison chassis. From afar this custom build shares a lot with the factory design, and its on closer inspection the custom features like the custom LED headlights and de-chromed and blacked out exterior come to life. In terms of shoes, this classic sits neatly on a set of custom 17" HRE wheels that are finished off in gun metal grey. Like the exterior, the black interior of this 1954 Chevrolet Corvette sports all its factory styling with a twist. Get comfy and a closer inspection showcases Dakota Digital gauges in place, new seats, new door panels, and carpeting in place.
While the exterior and interior boast a host of custom features, the engine department of this custom classic is where the best unique features lie. Pop open the hood of this 1954 Chevrolet Corvette and what you will find is a new custom-built LT-5 engine, built by Graham Behan. Wondering what makes that performance figure a reality? The current owner reports a custom aluminum driveline, custom-built electronic control module for Lingenfelter, a new stainless steel fuel tank with fuel pump, new ceramic coated headers, polished stainless steel SuperTrapp mufflers, and a custom-built radiator. Handling is also vastly improved with a Heat-treated gear set & stub shaft, custom-made half-shaft, Flaming River steering column, and a 3.73 gear ratio. In terms of power delivery, this custom classic channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a new ZF 6-speed manual transmission giving you more control of this cars impressive performance.

With its sleek styling and relatively modern features, the C5 or fifth-generation Corvette is a great place to start your Corvette journey. It’s a definite future classic, but isn’t too old that you’ve got to baby it. Produced between 1997 and 2005, the C5 also marked the last generation to have the pop-up headlamps. That, plus many other reasons, mean that this 2000 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is a great contender for that extra spot in your car collection. This reportedly all-original car has done 32,000 miles, which is lighter than average. So, it’s in great condition as a result.
The Chevy Corvette is arguably the most well-known sports car in America. Now on its eighth iteration, the ‘Vette has morphed into a mid-engined supercar fighter. But let’s go down Corvette avenue for about three and a bit decades. Let’s step back into 1993, when the Corvette was celebrating its 40th Anniversary. Yes, The Corvette is also one of America’s longest-running automotive nameplates. Hence, in 1993, when the fourth-generation or C4 Corvette was in production, Chevy created the 40th Anniversary Corvette. Just 6,749 examples were sold, and here’s one for you to consider. This 1993 Chevrolet Corvette 40th Anniversary Edition may have traveled 115,000 miles in its lifetime, but it’s still a spry thing to behold.
American performance cars always seem to be underrated compared to their European counterparts. This 2013 Chevrolet Corvette 1LT with just under 50,000 miles on the odometer, puts all that mockery to sleep. It emphasizes exactly what American performance cars have done so well for so many years (70 years in the case of the Corvette): rear-wheel drive, manual transmission, and an absolutely massive V8 up front. They have stuck to that formula ever since and have made them better and better with each iteration.
