1954 Corvette ZR-1...
...is what they're calling it as the placard says. Timeless Kustoms in Camarillo, CA is the builder. Has 50/50 weight distribution. Craig Morrison said its a "C6 front and tri 4-bar rear on one of our chassis. They are updating the shocks to Double-Adjustable Penske's for track day duty."

Awesome show car, but somehow I don't see that car doing "Track Duty".

Re: 1954 Corvette ZR-1...
The wheels are so wrong for that body style I don't like em.
They also could have not done that very GEEEEY hood oh and the dash its not a ZR-1 thats what we have this is a ZR1 engine. And I miss the chrome on the car thats what the 50s and 60s were all about bring back the chrome!

Re: 1954 Corvette ZR-1...
Being a 53-55 guy, I just can't get on board with this one. Maybe it's the hood and wheels. More so the wheels???? The painted bumpers and trim may also be throwing it off as well. Nice workmanship but.........something has gone off base for me.

Re: 1954 Corvette ZR-1...
Doesn't do it for me either.
Don't like the wheels, and I definitely don't like how the front wheels fit into the body. The body proportions in the front half of the car is way off for a C1. There's too much fender behind the front wheels. I realize it's like that to get the 50/50 weight distribution, but it really catches my eyes (and not in a good way). Maybe if they had left some chrome on the front end... I'm sure it's a great car with super performance/handling/stopping etc., etc.,. Just not my cup 'o tea. TomC 'Crabs |

Re: 1954 Corvette ZR-1...
It is to dark overall.
I think the wheels should be chrome and the bumpers too. I like the idea but I think a C2 would be even better. Like these ZR-1 C2's

Posted on another forum by the wheel builder...
"This car has our ZEFORGED Mesh wheels on it. I worked with Jason on building our wheels around those Huge Carbon ceramic brakes. The caliper overhangs 2.125" past the mounting surface. We built 19x11 front and 19x13 rear. What a sharp car! Just happy we could be of help. Zak" www.bozeforged.com |
