Rod Authority – Remember the Goodguys?

This pristine classic Vette was created by up and coming builder Troy Spackman of Legacy Innovations. Troy is also a resident of York, PA. This sporty roadster features a custom brown metallic paint job accented by color-matching Forgeline wheels and a lush cream upholstery. The ’58 sits atop a tube chassis. Detroit Speed C6 front suspension, a swivel link rear end, JRi shocks and big Wilwood brakes round out handling and stopping power. It is powered by a small block featuring an all-Billet aluminum EFI unit for some major fuel efficiency. The transmission is a Keisler SS 700 5-Speed. See article here…
