There are lots of extremely cool ones Corvette restomodswho caused a sensation worldwide and became absolute stars in the restomod scene. Yet they will likely be in terms of attention and popularity against this C3R Draw the short straw as they do not have the Batmobile look that instantly evokes associations with vehicles from Hollywood films in young and old. It is therefore not surprising that such a Corvette C3R is not for the tight budget, because this model, which is currently at Vanguard Motors is up for sale, costs meager 250.000 US Dollars. Earlier this year, the Mecum auction house valued the vehicle at $ 200.000, increasing its value by $ 50.000 in just three months.

Inspired by the Mako Shark II concept car.

Next to the beguiling forms was the legendary Mako Shark II concept car Godfather who has a sideline inspired by ancient Greek statues. The paintwork, on the other hand, is completely new, because Mosaic Black Metallic called black, comes from a Corvette C7 Z06 from 2018. The mighty power dome on the long bonnet, on the other hand, is not reminiscent of antique statues, but of modern dragsters, and gives the Vette a racing feeling. There are also hidden ones sidepipesthat turn the Restomod into a wild animal when it is started and want to be let loose in the traffic.

All chrome components of the original, such as bumpers, moldings and side air intakes, were through Carbon parts replaced, which is why there is no longer any bling-bling on the vehicle. To be absolutely sure that nothing shiny chrome is to be found three-piece carbon fiber rims in 20-inch format raised by the company Asanthi come. The brakes come from the Corvette C7 Z06, Und die Independent suspension comes from one C7 stingray. In our opinion, this restomod proves to all critics that one can create true works of art from classic automobiles with imagination, skill and the necessary patience.

Inside there is racing spirit of the 60s!

The cockpit includes black leather seats with orange stitching and Four-point racing harness. Also, modern ones stopped Digital instruments from Dakota indentation. Otherwise, the "Batmobile" does without modern gimmicks and gimmicks in the interior in order not to dilute the rustic charm too much.

7-liter V8 provides propulsion.

The cream piece acts as a drive source 7 liter pushrod V8 with the factory code LS7, the about 500 PS and delivers significantly more torque. It is important to mention that the engine not forced ventilation because it is a Mammal acts. The power is transmitted via a Tremec T6 manual transmission with six courses, and only those Rear wheels driven. With this performance and the pure rear-wheel drive, perfect donuts can certainly be conjured up in the asphalt, but the work of art on four wheels is far too good for such post-pubescent games. The driving performance should also be on the level of a super sports car, even if you don't want to try it out, because in our opinion the classic belongs in loving collectors' hands.
