Radical Departure: Valarra CorvetteIf you aren’t content with a factory Corvette, you might want to consider this Valarra Corvette that’s currently for sale. This one sports all kinds of upgrades you probably won’t find on another Valarra, which are admittedly rather rare rides, but we expect this will only speak to some gearheads and not the rest.
This split window ’63 Corvette drag racer is wild.
The Valarra body kit is radically aggressive, masking that underneath sits a C6 Corvette. But this Chevy sports car has also been heavily modified for performance, so it can cash the check the body has written.
Speaking of the looks, the custom Midnight Purple paint job is pretty mesmerizing, but we expect not everyone will be a fan. Black three-piece five-spoke wheels and a marbled finish on the aero elements complete the look.

The fuel system, engine head, camshaft, exhaust, clutch, and other parts have been upgraded for more power. According to the listing, after a professional tune, the sports car is making 681-whp with 6 psi of boost.
Plus, this car has a six-speed manual transmission – that’s a big plus.
A number of other upgrades have been installed, like air suspension, custom tubular control arms, big brake kit, and a KnightDriveTV stereo further improve the experience for the driver.
This is the kind of ride you can cruise through any area on a Saturday night and turn plenty of heads.
As you might imagine, this Valarra Corvette isn’t being sold for a song and a dance. The owner is asking $100,000 OBO for the thing, saying he’s put almost $120,000 in parts into it. Does that seem like a fair deal to you?
