Over $100,000 invested in this meticulous restoration of a very solid 59 Impala Sport Coupe. This was a frame-off job by a well known custom shop in Indianapolis, IN (Paradise Road Rod & Custom). The goal was to build a resto-mod that doesn't look like one. They achieved the objective. Every piece that looked like a modern component (even the 350 RamJet) was modified to look as original as possible. Let me highlight just some examples:
- All engine electronics were mounted under the dash.
- All engine wiring was re-worked to remove plastic shields and replace with original electric cloth wrap.
- Original deluxe heater box was modified to handle the AC plumbing. In fact, all AC plumbing was routed to be as inconspicuous as possible.
- After market power brake booster was modified to look as close as possible to original.
- The RamJet breather system was custom built to look as close to possible to the canister system available on the 59 RamJet engine.
- Special rims were used to retain the original 14" wheel covers (over the front disk brakes)
- Everything in the cabin was Dynamat covered to reduce noice and heat.
- Installed the Vintage Air 'Monster' cooling fan inside of the original fan shroud. You can't even see it. Mounted the controls inside of the now fake voltage regulator
- Installed aftermarket power window motors and mechanisms with factory switches (if you know this system, you know the aftermarket switches are junk)
I know you'll ask about rust. We found some small pin holes in the pinch well below the rear glass. Every hole was welded. There was surface rust beginning around the rear screw on the drivers side rocker molding. That metal was removed and replaced. The floor pans and frame didn't even have pits.
This car is a pleasure to drive.
I've shown the car twice at World of Wheels and once at the Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals shows. She got a first and second at World of Wheels and a 'Gold Certificate' at MCCN. She also scored a 'Top 20' out of over 3,000 cars at the James Dean Festival in 2012. She gets attention.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
