REDSHFT is a Restomod Corvette completed by CRCoachworks in Lakewood, Washington in 2023. She is the 14th (and reportedly last) 63 split-window that Doug and Julie will build. Its is simply an elegant machine.
Choices
I looked at several Restomod builders, talked to more than a few owners, and just couldn’t talk myself out of one of Doug’s finest creations. I just cant say enough good things about these guys. Their cars have been featured at Kindig Custom Designs, as well as movies, magazines, and premier car shows. These guys set the standard.
The Search
It was a 4-month search, but we (Julie) finally found the perfect 2013 Z06. She had a little over 30k miles and was well cared for. Her 500hp 427 was sound, and the 6-speed was fun to drive. I drove it home and there is nothing like 160mph across White Sands Missle Range.
The Build
The build took a little over 8 months (a lot of waiting for me to pick a color). The ladies and gentlemen at CRC took their time and did it right. They added side pipes, a custom steering wheel and body color stitching to make it all come together.
More Power
Then it was off to Lingenfelter for a little more juice. Its a fun ride to say the least.
