Offered for sale as a Jeff Hays built 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster Resto Mod, this titled, genuine C2 roadster is a classic icon rebuilt with modern performance, reliability, and show level finish. Beneath the timeless shape sits a new Art Morrison Sport Chassis with sway bars and serious braking hardware, including Wilwood disc brakes with six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers clamping drilled and slotted rotors. The build emphasizes new components throughout, with all new U.S.-made suspension pieces like spindles, bearings, and supporting parts, paired with Strange Engineering shocks featuring five-position damping and QA1 springs, delivering the kind of handling, cornering, and stopping power you would expect from a contemporary performance car.
The drivetrain is equally intentional. Power comes from a brand new GM LS3 Hot Cam crate engine rated at 497 horsepower and backed by a two year GM warranty, with the option to tune to roughly 550 hp. A new Tremec 6 speed manual handles shifting duties, matched with a McLeod Racing twin disc flywheel and clutch assembly for crisp engagement and a confident pedal feel. Underhood presentation is a focal point, finished with polished aluminum accessories from Eddie Motorsports, including the alternator, A/C compressor, power steering pump, and a complete serpentine pulley and idler system. AutoMeter gauges provide clear readouts for key vitals at a glance.

Visually, the car is built to stop people in their tracks. It wears custom Porsche Carmine Red paint with a deep, wet look, and features a wider rear body from the back of the doors to accommodate wider rear tires, giving it a more planted modern stance while keeping the classic mid year proportions. Schott wheels and redline tires complete the look, while comfort and usability are upgraded with power steering, tilt wheel, power windows, A/C, AM/FM stereo, and a power hood.
The quality level is positioned as investment grade, with the listing noting a sister car recently sold at Barrett-Jackson for $935,000.
With fewer than 200 miles since completion, it presents as essentially new in the ways that matter. The next owner is not just buying a finished showpiece, they are stepping into the earliest miles of a fully sorted restomod that looks iconic, drives modern, and shows flawless.
