This split-window Corvette was built by Rad Rides by Troy as a prop to decorate a restaurant, but now it’s been finished as a streetable, Hemi-powered monster!

If you work long enough in this business, you think you’ve seen it all—then you’re proved wrong. Such is the case with this Pro Street 1963. The fire-breathing, tire-smoking ride you see here was never meant to be driven, or even fired up. In fact, the previous owner commissioned Rad Rides by Troy to build a wild Pro Street split-window Vette to decorate his restaurant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The plan was for it to hang on the wall like a rather large three-dimensional picture.

Inside, power windows were added, but the doors must be opened by remote control since there are no door handles. The leather seats were reworked by Bux Upholstery, and the Hemi’s vitals are tracked via a full complement of Autometer gauges.provide the proper exhaust note, and Saboury says you can drive the Corvette just about anywhere without issue.
