Sometimes, a custom car is an acknowledgment in seek of a
question, with the builder's or owner's account abaft it not calmly understood.
But this car answers a "what-if" catechism that some Vette lovers may have: What
if Corvette's 1961 rear afterlight included a fixed-roof, split-window coupe?
Mike Walker congenital this one at his shop, Street Rods Only, in Macon, Illinois. If that name and boutique complete familiar, again you apparently apperceive about the "fastback" '59 Corvette Walker and aggregation congenital (and this columnist wrote about for Corvette Fever, aswell with Jerry Heasley's accurate assistance). "I just had so abounding humans searching at that one," says Walker. "I said to myself, 'What do I do next?' My boutique and A-1 Fiberglass teamed up, and I was allurement them, 'What do I do next?'"
What he did was accession lift-off-topped C1. Walker says that, clashing some builders, he didn't alpha with an complete '61 Corvette--or with a bassinet case '61, either. "We physique the body," he says. "We physique everything--it's a absolute build." That plan aswell included the four months A-1 Fiberglass took to architecture and architect the roof and block lid, again accomplish the appropriate molds.
A new physique and anatomy may accept adored Walker and the Street Rods Alone aggregation from "remedial" blight and/or crash-damage repair, but the activity captivated a lot of time nonetheless. "We accept over 3,000 hours in this car," Walker says of the two-year build.
A attending at the bigger data shows that those hours were time able-bodied spent. The roof wears a breach rear window--inspired by the one on the accumulation '63 Sting Ray--atop the '61's body. But clashing the C2 coupes, this split-window has a activity trunk, one whose lid blends appropriate into the roof and rear physique lines. A Sting Ray show/race car–inspired appendage analysis aswell contributes to the "hybrid" administration theme.
Just as with Street Rods Only's orange '59 C1 fastback, you'll acquisition two '67 Sting Ray awning scoops--but alone one on the awning itself. "The added beat is antipodal and beneath the roof, central of it," says Walker of the autogenous administration detail that uses the breach amid the two rear windows as the "stinger" that projects out of the scoop's accessible end.
Unlike some projects, the later-model anatomy accouterments and LS3 engine in this car attending as if they were installed at St. Louis Assembly. What's it like to drive? "It's nice," says Walker. "It's got C4 foreground and rear suspension, six-piston disc brakes foreground and rear, ability steering, ability brakes, and air conditioning," he adds, pointing out the appearance and comforts this C1 and its adolescent '61s never got from Chevrolet way aback when.
No '61 Corvette acquired a awareness like the accumulation Sting Ray did if it was announced--and it's a safe bet that no '61s added than this one accept anytime been abashed for a '63 model. As Walker credibility out, "Unless somebody's absolutely a Corvette person, they'll attending at this car and say, 'Oh--a '63 breach window.' And you go, 'Yeah, right. It does attending like one…from the back." He adds, "It's done so able-bodied that maybe Chevrolet should accept anticipation about accomplishing it."
Could a split-window fastback adaptation of the '61 and '62 Corvettes accept been a big seller? Possibly. Recall how Corvette auto sales complemented those of the drop-top starting in '63. Chevrolet could accept done the auto and convertible to adverse its better two-seat rival,Find a rubberhose Manufacturer and Supplier. Jaguar's all-new E-Type, which debuted in '61 and was accessible in both fastback and topless physique styles.
