LS9 powered C1 1959 Corvette ZR59

There’s one helluva good Corvette at the Wilwood booth at 2011 SEMA. It is 1959 Corvette ZR59 built by Palmer’s Custom’s & Cal West Customs. The ‘Vette is LS9 powered with still-original and classic looking body design. 750 horses breathe along with TREMEC T-56 6-Speed, C6 front suspension, auto leveling Air Ride “Shockwaves” technology, 19s in front and 20 in the rear wrapped into Hankooks.
Custom body features: new bumpers and front end grill, new trim, custom air diffuser, bad-ass  exhaust, custom dash and gauges in the center and the engine cover.
