C1-Style 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible by CRC 6-Speed

This 2004 Chevrolet Corvette convertible was modified in the style of a 1962 C1 Corvette by Classic Reflection Coachworks of Lakewood, Washington, in 2007. The “Retro-Vette” build involved replacing the factory fiberglass panels with red-finished carbon-fiber bodywork, and the car also has a black soft top and red leather upholstery. Power is provided by a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 linked to a six-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential, and equipment includes 18″ SSR GT-10 wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable seats, a head-up display, a CD stereo, and a Bose sound system.

The “Retro-Vette” conversion by Classic Reflection Coachworks was finished in 2007 and included replacing fiberglass exterior body panels with C1-style carbon-fiber bodywork and a refinish in red. Additional details include a black soft top, chrome bumpers and trim, and C1-style badging.

The 18″ SSR GT-10 wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires measuring 265/35 up front and 275/35 out back. The car is equipped with traction control and four-wheel ventilated disc brakes.

The cabin features two power-adjustable bucket seats trimmed in red leather with CRC-embroidered backrests. Amenities include a head-up display, driver-seat position memory settings, dual-zone automatic climate control, a CD stereo, a Bose sound system, and cruise control.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 200-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 33k miles, approximately 10 of which were added under current ownership.
