Customizing a classic is a task reserved for true professionals, the wrong upgrade or custom feature can ruin the aesthetic of your build without question. Present today is not just any custom build, but this 1954 Chevrolet Corvette, a rare 1st generation Chevrolet Corvette build that's done to perfection by the folks at Eckert's Rod & Custom wearing a custom chassis from Art Morrison and a plethora of neat surprises beneath the skin.
To sum up how special this 1954 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod truly is, this classic was formerly displayed at the National Corvette Museum in the Skydome Exhibit: not an easy feat considering this is, after all, a custom build. This custom classic is finished in Midnight Blue and sits on a Custom Art Morrison chassis. From afar this custom build shares a lot with the factory design, and its on closer inspection the custom features like the custom LED headlights and de-chromed and blacked out exterior come to life. In terms of shoes, this classic sits neatly on a set of custom 17" HRE wheels that are finished off in gun metal grey. Like the exterior, the black interior of this 1954 Chevrolet Corvette sports all its factory styling with a twist. Get comfy and a closer inspection showcases Dakota Digital gauges in place, new seats, new door panels, and carpeting in place.
While the exterior and interior boast a host of custom features, the engine department of this custom classic is where the best unique features lie. Pop open the hood of this 1954 Chevrolet Corvette and what you will find is a new custom-built LT-5 engine, built by Graham Behan. Wondering what makes that performance figure a reality? The current owner reports a custom aluminum driveline, custom-built electronic control module for Lingenfelter, a new stainless steel fuel tank with fuel pump, new ceramic coated headers, polished stainless steel SuperTrapp mufflers, and a custom-built radiator. Handling is also vastly improved with a Heat-treated gear set & stub shaft, custom-made half-shaft, Flaming River steering column, and a 3.73 gear ratio. In terms of power delivery, this custom classic channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a new ZF 6-speed manual transmission giving you more control of this cars impressive performance.

Chevy’s C5 Corvette is always a special one. The last of the pop-up headlamp brigade, the C5 was an all-new design that took over from the C4 in 1997. Produced until 2004, over 248,000 examples found homes during its production run. This 2002 Chevrolet Corvette is one of them, and comes with a light 32,000 miles under its belt. It’s got some cosmetic and performance enhancements as well, making it even more of a hoot to drive. Plus, it’s sure to be a future classic, so if you buy it, you’re a winner today and tomorrow as well.
The seventh generation Corvette, or the C7 as it’s officially known, is one for the history books. This was the last time that America’s sweetheart sports car would place its engine ahead of the passenger cabin. With the switch to a mid-engined layout for the C8, C7s are definitive future classics. Plus, they’re suitably modern enough to offer most of the tech toys and creature comforts we take for granted in 2024. Case in point, this 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2LT Z51 with just 8,800 miles on the odometer. It’s a fantastic sports car and can easily perform daily driver duties. But, when the mood strikes, it can get your adrenalin pumping and your heart racing with excitement.
The Chevrolet Corvette (C2) was produced from 1963 to 1967, and it is considered by many to be the best looking of its lineage. The new design and newfound handling prowess propelled this 1963 model to turn out as a great success story from its C1 predecessor. With a total of 21,513 units being built in 1963, the C2 Chevrolet Corvette was up by 50 percent in sales from the record-setting 1962 first generation now. Today, in its eighth generation, the Corvette name still proudly runs amongst its competitors from harking back to being a sports car to now a fully-fledged super car on the track. This particular classic we have here for you today has been fully restored back to its old glory in shining red with 50,000 miles run on the odometer. It has been kept in supreme condition with all maintenance up to date, this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette is for sale in Walnut, California.
Would you like a first-gen Camaro with a bit of spice under the hood? Granted, GM did endow the Camaro with plenty of spiciness when it debuted, thanks to some potent V8 engines and handling packages. But, this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is different. You see, it’s a sort of restomod that’s been built to go faster than a stock first-gen Camaro ever did from the factory. So, would you like to own something that’s quite unique, and probably one of a kind in terms of specifications and enhancements? Contact us pronto.
The Chevrolet Tahoe is the Bowtie brand’s full-size SUV offering. Since 1992, the Tahoe has represented a go-anywhere sport utility vehicle that could carry the average American family across the country in comfort, dog and all. With excellent off-road credentials, the Tahoe could take the path less travelled, too. Now we’re on the fifth generation, but there are some fantastic older ones available too. Take this first-generation 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe LT as a prime example. Extensively modified, this off-road ready beast has a significant 265,000 miles on the clock but don’t let that put you off. It’s been well looked after, and in your care, can easily double or even triple that mileage without major woes.
