Signature Autosports in Castle Hayne, North Carolina, is pleased to present this immaculate, pre-owned 2021 Santorini Black Metallic 2-Door Soft Top with only 1,650 miles on the odometer.

This elegant build was completed in August 2021 by our team of skilled Master Craftsmen at our headquarters in Castle Hayne, North Carolina. It is motivated by a bulletproof 6.2L Corvette LS3 V8 engine, paired with a smooth-shifting 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission featuring a PCS® push-button gear selector with LED display. The heavy-duty LT230 transfer case, equipped with a center differential lock, ensures that all four wheels receive as much of the 430+ horsepower and 425+ pound-feet of torque as possible. Hailed by AutoBlog as "unquestionably good", this powertrain effortlessly conquers any terrain. Additionally, the vehicle boasts updated front and rear disc brakes, guaranteeing quiet, safe, swift, and efficient stops.

The upgraded heavy-duty front and rear axles are mounted on the new hot-dipped galvanized chassis, supported by slightly elevated Terrafirma® shocks and springs. The chassis features Terrafirma® caster-corrected front and cranked rear radius arms, track rod, drag link, and steering damper, all safeguarded by a heavy-duty aluminum front skid plate. The vehicle stands on classic gloss black 16-inch “Sawtooth” alloy wheels, wrapped with brawny 285/75R16 Cooper® Discoverer AT3® XLT all-terrain tires, built to handle heavy loads or tow some serious weight while providing a smooth ride on highways.

The body was expertly finished in deep Santorini Black Metallic, complemented by color-matched wheel arches and trim, all completed at our in-house body and paint facility. For added safety, the vehicle features a gloss black powder-coated multi-point Safety Devices® safety cage, providing protection for its occupants. The premium black soft top fits snugly, keeping the elements at bay, while the quick and easy-to-roll-up/zip-out side and rear windows offer the freedom of an open-air experience whenever desired.

The front end showcases a gloss black premium grille with a gloss black wire mesh insert, gloss black light surrounds, side intake, and forced-air wing top vents. Black anodized aluminum door, bonnet, and windscreen hinges enhance the stealthy exterior color scheme. LED headlamps with smoked marker, turn, reverse, and tail lamps have been installed for modern and precise illumination. The impressive front features a satin black powder-coated slim-line bumper featuring two integrated LED daytime running lamps.

At the rear, the vehicle features a satin black powder-coated North American Spec (NAS) step bumper, designed to accommodate a high-definition rearview camera, a 2-inch hitch receiver, and jacking/recovery points. Additionally, a heavy-duty swing-away rear tire carrier provides a neat and functional solution for storing the spare tire.

Gloss black powder-coated rock sliders with integrated “tree bars” make entering and exiting the passenger cabin easy. Inside, you'll find a modern-style dash that ensures excellent heating and air conditioning, providing year-round comfort for the occupants. The well-appointed interior is complete with durable Exmoor Trim® Black Rack & 1/2 Leather upholstered heated front sport seats with contrasting white stitching. When not in use, the four side-facing rear seats with matching upholstery can be stowed away, offering ultimate flexibility — seating for additional friends and family or creating true utilitarian cargo space — with over 55 cubic feet available when folded.

Behind the sport steering wheel, you'll find an impressive driver command center. It is focused around a satin black fascia that houses the updated infotainment system, including a double-DIN Sound Storm Labs® touch-screen head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®, and Bluetooth® hands-free calling and media streaming. The audio experience is enhanced by a rich-sounding Rockford Fosgate® 8-speaker array.

Convenient amenities in the vehicle include power windows, cruise control, a leather-wrapped center console with a storage cubby, a wireless charger for your mobile device, USB charging points, and two oversized aluminum cup holders. The front windscreen is heated for extra frosty mornings, and security is handled by a Viper® keyless entry system with remote starting. To protect the interior, heavy-duty rubber floor mats are provided for the front footwells and rear loadspace/passenger area.

Below are just some of the highlights of this admirable build:

- 6.2L Corvette LS3 V8 engine (~430+HP/~425+LB.FT.)
- 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission
- PCS® GSM push-button shifter with LED display
- Heavy-duty LT230 transfer case with Center Differential Lock
- Custom headers and performance dual exhaust
- Griffin® aluminum radiator
- Dual PermaCool® electric cooling fans
- Stainless steel oil cooler lines, brake lines, and fuel lines
- New transmission cooler lines
- Double Cardan front and rear driveshafts
- Heavy-duty rear axle, front axle, and CV joints
- New body panels, bonnet, and doors
- New bulkhead with an upgraded modern-style dash
- New glass, weatherstripping, and gaskets
- Cruise control
- LED headlamps with smoked LED tail lamps, marker, and indicator lamps
- Rock sliders with integrated “tree bars”
- Black, anodized aluminum door, bonnet, and windscreen hinges
- Sound Storm Labs® / Rockford Fosgate® infotainment system
- Viper® 2-way security and remote start
- LED ambient interior lighting
...and much, much more!

MegaRexxTrucks builds the MegaRaptor™ on F250/350/450 Super Duty Diesel trucks! If you LOVE the aggressive looks and off-road performance of the Ford Raptor but NEED BIG DIESEL POWER, the MegaRaptor™ is what you're after! Why'd we do it?!? Because life is too short to drive a boring truck! Each and every MegaRaptor™ we build is custom — and that's all we build — with 46" Michelin XZL tires on Military MRAP wheels and aggressively styled bodywork. We often have Ford Super Duty trucks for sale and, on rare occasions, a pre-owned MegaRaptor™. For more information, please visit www.MegaRexxTrucks.com.

We are positive that no matter which vehicle you select, you are going to be turning heads when you ride down the road. We're true "car guys", first and foremost, and we're lucky enough to have turned our hobby into our profession. Heck, we're all over 40 and we're still playing with cars and trucks... what does that tell you?!? We’re committed to providing you with the highest level of service and want to make the process as easy, fun, and enjoyable as possible for you. We genuinely care about your vehicle and your experience — and it shows. Our technicians are highly skilled and have years of practical, hands-on experience — over 200 years collectively!

Most of all: they love custom vehicles and care about yours.

 

We love what we do because this is a lifelong love affair for us. We are a family business and we know the dream of creating something that lasts, something to share with your children. Whatever your dream is, we are confident that we can bring it to life.
