The third-generation Corvette, internally designated C3, burst onto the scene in 1968, radically reshaping the iconic American sports car with its striking "Coke bottle" design inspired by the Mako Shark II concept. A stark departure from the Sting Ray, the C3's aggressive, aerodynamic lines and pronounced fender flares immediately captivated enthusiasts. For 1969, Chevrolet refined the C3, bringing back the revered "Stingray" name (now as one word) and offering a range of potent big-block engines that cemented its reputation as a genuine muscle car contender. These early C3s, particularly those equipped with the legendary 427 cubic-inch V8, represent a high watermark for Corvette performance and styling before the onset of stricter emissions regulations. This 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Widebody Restomod takes that iconic foundation and elevates it to contemporary supercar standards. With a mere 450 miles on its comprehensive, professional build by Custom Image Corvette, this coupe is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. Underneath its custom widebody, the factory chassis has been expertly boxed and paired with a full RideTech suspension system, providing a dynamic driving experience far exceeding its original capabilities. Power comes from a potent LS7 V8 engine, seamlessly integrated with a Borla 8-stack injection system, all channeled through a T56 manual transmission with a McLeod twin-disc clutch for precise control. Stopping power is equally impressive, courtesy of Wilwood 6-piston brakes. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a masterfully executed restomod that blends the C3's timeless appeal with modern performance and reliability.
