Corvette Restoration

Customs Unlimited
has restored many Corvettes in the past,  from full NCRS and Bloomington "Points" cars all
the way up to perfectly restored daily drivers.   Below  is a 1956 that  we are most proud of
and a 1961 that we are currently working on.


This 1956 Corvette
was purchased in 1970.  After several years the owner decided to totally
    restore the car.   For years,  he  collected  all the required NOS parts to rebuild the car and
    replace any worn items with the exact GM pieces.  We finished restoring the body in 1996.
    The  owner  reassembled the car himself, finishing it in 1999.  Since then he has collected
    many awards including: NCRS Top Flight and Best of Show at the Concours de Elegance
    at Stan Hywet Hall in Akron, Ohio.   Even now,  he  is  still winning  or  placing  wherever he
    shows it.  Besides the fact that this is a beautiful  example of a '56, this Corvette has some
    extremely rare options including: Power Top, Power Windows, Wonderbar Radio, Original
    Hardtop,  and a 3:70 HT posi-traction rear end.  The engine is a 265 Cubic Inch,  225 HP
version with factory 2 x 4 barrel carburetors.  Even the color is rare . . .
Aztec Copper and Shoreline Beige.


This 1961 Corvette has been in the same family since it was purchased brand new.  The
 current owner's father was a doctor and drove the car year round for 20 years.  The 
doctor left the car to his son, when he passed away.   Apparently the car had been 
 damaged several times and fixed at Chevy dealers.  Every corner had been hit and
repaired.   It sat in the son's garage for years before he decided to restore it.   The
son contacted Sam's Auto Spa  to do the  chassis and  mechanical work and Sam 
contracted us to do the body and paint.  It required a new left front fender and rocker
panel.   The car was painted with Sateen Silver.  It is currently being reassembled
at Sam's, but it'll be back and we'll add our finishing touches and get some good 
shots of the completed car.
