Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is excited to present one of the
hottest cars in our inventory! We all know mid-year Corvettes are
some of the most popular and in demand collector cars on the
planet. And when a well-done pro-touring build adds modern
ergonomics and world class performance, "in demand" becomes
"irresistible". Wrapping GM's impressive Ram Jet 350 in a custom
chassis and swaths of silver leather, this incredible roadster is a
fully sorted road warrior that's both "sinister" AND
"irresistible". And best of all, you can have all that presence and
performance without sacrificing any old school style! Built to be
shown and driven, this stunning Sting Ray was completely
disassembled, carefully modified and professionally restored by
Masterworks Automotive in Madison Heights, Michigan. As you can
tell from our high resolution photos, the car is razor-straight, no
doubt requiring minimal work to present better-than-new aesthetics.
Once its body was stripped and sufficiently prepped, layers of Jet
Black base were sealed in clear, detailed with a silver stinger
stripe and carefully buffed to a brilliant shine. And today, this
top notch Corvette features a great combination of skilled
workmanship, modern amenities, and first-rate finishing that sets
it apart in a crowded segment of extremely nice cars. The second
generation of America's favorite sports car debuted a much more
assertive demeanor thanks to GM's renewed dedication to
motorsports. That newfound aggression is especially prevalent in
this classic's edgy detailing. The car opens with a 1-piece front
clip, which tucks a stainless-trimmed grille behind a colorful
header emblem, 'razor blade' bumpers and bright, bullet-style
parking lamps. Above that grille, a familiar Stinger Hood, which
looks downright evil, leads the eye to bright stainless trim,
lightly tinted glass and a black Stayfast top. At the sides of that
hood, a clean profile hangs '67-exclusive heat extractors in front
of chrome door handles, red-detailed bowtie mirrors, and chambered
and shielded side pipes. And behind those pipes, a '67 Corvette
tail section centers a classy Sing Ray emblem and
cross-flag-branded fuel cap above traditional taillights and two
more 'razor blade' bumpers. Check this custom's color-keyed engine
bay and you'll find a mean GM Performance Parts Ram Jet 350 that's
good for 350 horsepower and 400 lb./ft. of tire-twisting torque. At
that top of that Jet Black small block, a center-mount air cleaner
forces wind in to a red-detailed intake. At the back of that
intake, a chrome-capped ignition swirls fire around polished and
Chevrolet-branded valve covers. At the base of those valve covers,
Vortec heads and aluminum rockers combine with a hydraulic cam, an
iron crank, powdered connecting rods and hypereutectic pistons to
create stout 9 to 1 compression. That compression exits through
ram's horn-style exhaust manifolds. In front of those manifolds, a
modern serpentine system spins a polished alternator opposite a
polished AC compressor. And in front of those ancillaries, a beefy
Be Cool radiator founds a large electric puller fan. Aesthetically,
both the monochromatic mill and its assortment of bright
accessories seem right at home in front of a smoothed, color-keyed
firewall. And details like braided fluid lines and bowtie-branded
breathers ensure this Chevy runs every bit as good as it looks.
Park this Vette on a lift and you'll find a custom Jamison's
chassis that's been bolted to modified and undercoated floor tubs.
Behind the stout small block, a reliable Tremec 5-speed twists
torque through a tough hydraulic clutch and big, 3.73 gears. That
first class drivetrain rolls on a fourth generation Corvette
independent suspension that's fitted with high quality coil-overs
and Vette Brake Products strut rods. Turns come courtesy of modern
power rack-and-pinion steering. Confident stops are provided by
color-keyed and power-assisted discs. Exhaust rolls from the
previously mentioned manifolds to the aforementioned side pipes.
Power flows through Argent American Racing wheels, which spin
245/45ZR17 BF Goodrich g-Force Sports around polished lips and
industrial center caps. And everything from this Chevy's brake
lines to its fuel filter is professionally finished, superbly
detailed and ready for action. Pop the car's lightweight doors and
you'll find an insulated, leather interior that's complete,
tasteful and classic. Front and center, a pair of supple buckets
anchor supportive headrests between rare shoulder belts. In front
of those buckets, a black and silver dual-cowl dash hangs a correct
Delco AM/FM radio below rebuilt Corvette gauges. At the sides of
that dash, monochromatic door panels center stylish chrome hardware
between sculpted armrests and tasteful stainless trim. At the
bottom of those panels, clean carpet features stain-free shading
thanks to color-keyed floor mats. At the center of that carpet, a
full-length console frames a small shifter and chrome power window
switches. In front of the driver, a satin-spoke steering wheel
spins around a tilting column. And behind the passengers, a small
storage compartment displays few signs of use. Jamison tubular
