History

The Verrillo 1972 C3 Corvette Coupe Restomod strikes the perfect balance between an authentic look and modern performance. The Team at Verrillo Motor Cars did a world-class job of building this 1972 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe into this present incarnation as an award-winning Restomod. This comprehensive build began by dismantling the car into its many various pieces, and restoring, refinishing or replacing each component as required. The frame was completely disassembled, stripped, sealed, primed and then repainted in semi-gloss black. the entire vehicle was then painstakingly re-assempled, painted, and finished to the very highest quality. And incredible, show winning example of just how breathtaking a ’72 can TRULY be!

Suspension

The suspension was renewed both front and rear, with dipped and refinished control arms and new uprights, coil springs and sway bar up front, and new transverse leaf spring at the rear with offset control arms to accommodate the wider rear tires.

New fasteners and bushings were installed along with all new fuel, brake and fluid lines throughout.

Rack-and-pinion steering and upgraded 4-wheel brakes combine with beefy Michelin Pilot Sport 335/35ZR 17 on the Rear and 275/40ZR 17 on the front mounted on Biller Specialties Racing 5-spoke wheels for 21st-century handling and stopping.

Performance

Following time-honored Resto Modding practice, the Corvette’s 1972 driveline was removed to make way for modern power, in this case a new LS6 big-block 454/425HP V-8.
