1953 was the first year of "America's Sports Car", the Corvette. The original 1953 Corvette looked beautiful, but it was lacking in the performance department. Its straight 6 "Blue Flame" engine, 2-speed automatic transmission and drum brakes did not make it go as fast as it looked. In the 1980s, Classic Sports Cars from Holly Hill, Florida decided to make a replica of the iconic 1953 Corvette, but with an updated drivetrain. This replica drives better and has more power than Chevrolet could ever dream of in 1953. It is stylishly painted in white with a tan interior and cloth top which are complemented with red steel wheels, 1955 Chevrolet-style hub caps and wide-whitewall tires. The driver of this Corvette is treated to an AM/FM radio, tilt steering column, Grant GT wood-rimmed steering wheel, floor shifter and a full set of quality VDO gauges. HIGHLIGHTS: 350 Chevrolet V8 engine TH350 automatic transmission Built by Classic Sports Cars in Holly Hill, Florida Power steering Power front disc brakes Camaro suspension VDO gauges Wide whitewall tires Under the hood is a smooth-running 350 cubic Chevrolet engine mated to a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission. The engine features finned aluminum valve covers, a QuadraJet 4-barrel carburetor and a chrome open-element air cleaner. The suspension system is from a Camaro (independent in the front and leaf springs in the rear) and has power steering, as well as power brakes with discs up front. No 1953 Corvette ever drove as nice as this car. This is a very rare find. To be able to have all the classic looks of the original Corvette, but with the modern drivetrain and suspension of a newer car is a dream come true. If you love classic Corvettes, this 1953 Corvette Replica presents a rare opportunity to own something very special. Call today!
