Jaw Dropper of the Week: 1962 Chevrolet Corvette LS3/500

This stunner is on sale at the upcoming Mecum auction in Louisville on September 8-10 2016. This is a bad to the bone restomod that takes its classic lines from the first generation Corvettes that are known for their fierce good looks and clean lines. This version however takes the next step with its fully upgraded amenities like its monster 500 hp LS3 engine and upgraded everything!

Take a look at the highlights and be ready to pick your jaw up from the floor.
