'72 Corvette, From Holland!

Client Dennis van der Breggen of the Netherlands had HCR help design his latest ride, a '72 Corvette roadster.  This C3 will be treated to a 632 ci EFI Hot Rod Series big block Chevy from Nelson Racing Engines.  All of the 850hp will be channeled through a 6-speed Tremec and planted via a custom chassis from Streetshop, Inc.

'72 Corvette front and rear renderings

Fabrication and final assembly will be handled by Heartland Customs of Purcell, OK.  They will also be creating the custom interior featuring a Paul Atkins dash, iPad vehicle control center, and SLS AMG styled seats (complete with Air Scarf vents).
