In their most recent video on YouTube, Shawn Davis, the host of AutotopiaLA, gets behind the wheel of a striking 1963 Corvette Split Window restomod crafted by S Klub LA. Built from little more than a bare body, loose parts, and a Roadster Shop chassis, the car was completed in just over four months—an impressive turnaround for a fully bespoke build.
On the road, the supercharged LSA-powered Corvette delivers strong, usable performance without the unruly behavior often associated with high-horsepower muscle builds. Early aggression was dialed back through tuning, resulting in a car that feels planted, approachable, and genuinely enjoyable to drive. The Roadster Shop chassis shines, providing composure, predictable handling, and confidence-inspiring braking, even with a manual setup.
Visually, the widened body, subtle aero work, and carefully judged accents maintain the classic Split Window shape while sharpening every line. Inside, a custom interior blends carbon fiber, bespoke trim, and unexpected details without sacrificing usability.
