Custom Corvettes

Obviously the concept is nothing new. But not everyone that would like one has the time, ability, resources, or desire to build their own. That’s where we come in. Whether you just want to express yourself in a new way, be able to say you designed your own car, satisfy a mid-life crisis, or have a good answer when someone asks you what you want for your birthday, this may be the ticket.

Whether this particular configuration appeals to you or you would rather design your own custom toy, we would like to help. If you are interested in either converting your existing 1953 to 1982 Corvette into a sleeper or screamer, or want us to help you with a donor car from the ground up, give us a call. There is a wide choice when it comes to options, engines, drivetrain, and suspension selections.

It’s called FrankenSport because we took a left-for-dead Corvette, some parts from other Corvette generations, and some new goodies. We put them all together to create an incredible looking hi-tech ride like no other. With over 500 rear-wheel horsepower, a package that weighs in much lighter than a stock Corvette, air conditioning, Corbeau seats, tilt/tele wheel and a rockin’ stereo, this is a ride.
