There are restomods, and then there are statements-this 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window is the latter. Conceived as a fantasy project where GM set its sights on Europe, this one-off build was designed with Ferrari, Jaguar, and Mercedes in mind. The result? A coach-built Corvette reimagined through a high-performance, European lens with a fit and finish that rivals anything on the concours lawn.
Under the skin lies a 620hp Don Hardy-built 416ci LS3, mated to a Bowler-prepped T56 six-speed, all planted on a Roadster Shop FastTrack chassis with Penske coilovers and 14-inch Baer brakes. A Holley Dominator ECU, dual drive-by-wire throttle bodies, and a custom-fabricated stainless exhaust system ensure this car doesn't just cruise-it hunts. The handling? Razor sharp, thanks to an IRS setup and power rack-and-pinion steering.
The body's been subtly and expertly reshaped-thinned bumpers, a smoothed cowl, a reworked rear valance, and fender gills add definition, while the PPG Ferrari Grigio Alloy paint screams sophistication. One-off 18x8 and 18x12 Atomic Machine wheels tuck under custom tubs, and touches like Porsche 356 mirrors, Jaguar handles, and a modified '67 grille suggest a car with international aspirations and OEM-like restraint.
Inside, it's pure craftsmanship. Chuck Rowland's full custom interior blends with a bespoke HRG dash and functioning glove box. Nardi steering, Vintage Air, power everything, and a hidden sound system create an environment that's more Ferrari GT than factory GM. Dakota Digital gauges and a Baer ReMaster cylinder add modern precision behind the scenes.
Recognized across the country, this Vette has racked up awards from GoodGuys, Triple Crown of Rodding, and even earned a Chip Foose Design Award-not to mention landing the cover of Wheelhub. Built by Hot Rod Garage in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, this isn't just a car. It's a benchmark. A split-window built for the Autobahn, born from American muscle and shaped by European class.
