A New 1961 Corvette Restoration

Dr. Sloan engaged Bill Rucker to restore a 1961 Corvette to be given to his wife as a birthday present.

Bill found the car in Ohio and brought it back to Ft. Worth, TX. Rucker Performance stripped it and began the update process that included:

  • Transmission conversion from manual to automatic 200 R4 Overdrive
  • Vintage Air conditioning
  • Motor grade 350 CI HEI Ignition
  • Stereo upgrade
  • New convertible top and frame
  • New paint, red over white on a new gel coated body
  • New tires and wheel package
  • All Re-chromed Brightware

"The Corvette drives better than the day it drove off the showroom floor," said Kimberly Sloan. "It has power everything and drives every bit as smooth as a Lexus. I really feel safe and comfortable."
