It features a full Roadster Shop FAST TRACK chassis, C7 LT1 power, RS by Baer disc brakes, custom one-off three piece Forgeline wheels, and the Forgeline Flush-Loc centerlock conversion kit with a custom knock-off style center nut."

Great looking '64! The original classic lines of the car remain. The same pictures without the video are posted over on the www.pro-touring.com web site in the wheel/tire forum by Forgeline.

Truly stunning. ('though I don't think I could ever get used to seeing six-spoke wheels on a Corvette.)

Live well,

I spoke to the gentleman that owns this car in Columbus Goodguys. As he spoke about the car I got the feeling money was no object. It was completed in 11 months. The tires were flown to california to vulcanize the red stripes on them. Also if you look at the emblems closely they say Corvette by Roadster Shop. Very nicely done car. IMO

I believe the reason the car retains it classic body lines is because for the most part the body's exterior is stock. The only exterior part of the body that I can see from pictures that is not stock is the roof.

Doubt if anyone of you would even notice what RS did to it. I've only seen that change on 2 cars, the one in my Avatar and this one. Can't tell from pictures if they raised the height of the roof crease up any or not to go along with that change. The 3rd car I know of that will have that body change to it is one I'm building now, an it will have the roof crease raised to match that of car in my Avatar.
