Dave Kindig of Kindig-It Designs, and the Bitchin’ Rides TV show have teamed up with Corvette Mike to bring you the ultimate turn-key Resto-mod known as the 1953 Corvette CF1 Roadster. First displayed at the 2021 SEMA show, these custom-built roadsters offer the best of both worlds with the classic looks of the 1953 Corvette modernized with the latest engineering and over-the-top appointments.

The last of a true breed of combustion engines purpose-built by Lingenfelter, developing enough horsepower to rip the steel cords right off these Michelins. This combination of a very limited, select edition of carbon fiber bodies mated to Roadster Shop chassis culminated into something very special.
The first, from scratch, retro look 1953 Corvette Roadster with all the trick goodies of modern-day Sportage transportation with a flare to dare you not to stare.
