This 1954 Chevrolet Corvette was acquired by the seller in 2013, and the project stalled following work between 2022 and 2023 that included the installation of a Donovan Engineering 540ci block with Brodix cylinder as well as a billet intake manifold, a 92mm throttle body, and a Holley Terminator X fuel injection system. Additional components include a five-speed manual transmission, a C6 Corvette rear end, an Art Morrison chassis, and Foose wheels. Inside, a MOMO steering wheel and AutoMeter instrumentation are fitted. The radiator, driveshaft, wiring harness, and components for the brake and suspension systems are missing. This C1 Corvette project is now offered with a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.

The car wears a black primer finish with areas of exposed repairs, misaligned panels, and tape. A red hardtop is fitted, and the car has wire mesh headlight guards.

An Art Morrison chassis has been installed, and the car has five-spoke Foose wheels. Components of the four-wheel disc brakes remain, though the brake lines, shocks, and other parts are missing.

The partially stripped interior houses a pair of seat frames with worn lower cushions and black upholstery along with a set of black door panels and a shifter housing.

A MOMO steering wheel sits ahead of a 10k-rpm AutoMeter tachometer, while auxiliary readouts are centrally mounted. The car does not have an odometer.

The seller notes that the 540ci V8 block was sourced from Donovan Engineering and assembled in 2022 with Brodix cylinder heads. Work in 2023 involved installing a custom billet intake manifold, a 92mm throttle body, and a Holley Terminator X fuel injection system. The engine has exhaust headers, though the rest of the exhaust system is missing. A radiator is not installed, and a wiring harness is required. A video of the engine running is included in the gallery below.

A fuel cell and Optima battery are located at the rear of the car, which is also fitted with a five-speed manual transmission and a C6 Corvette rear end. A driveshaft is not installed.
