Introducing BallisticBeige:
an award winning 1964 Corvette ground-up restomod built by Kuhnhausen Metal Concepts now available for sale. This stunning C2 has character and attitude with an impressive list of top-tier parts, a highly refined body, & gratuitous LT4 horsepower on tap. Finished in a modern take on O.E. saddle bronze paint, this midyear exudes subtle on the outside displaying its original lines (refined of course), all while hiding the hardcore engineering and fabrication beneath it's body. This is a true turn key driver which has been thoroughly tested & broken in. This Corvette can be purchased as it sits, or modified to suite at a time and material basis post-sale.
This is your opportunity to skip the multi-year wait on a craftsman C2 Corvette build!
