Corvette C2 Roadster and Stingray by Paladin

Completely redesigned body for 1963 and offering both the Roadster and Stingray coupe design, the Corvette was now seen as a true sports car with independent rear axle and modern looks while paying homage to the original design.  The C2 also was offered in a Coupe known as the Stingray that provided a uniquely imagined roof line.  Both models featured peaked fenders, long nose, and short bobbed tail. 

Our reproduction can feature the original chassis and drivetrain or a modern race inspired chassis with LS engine coupled with manual transmissions (5spd or 6spd) or automatic overdrive transmissions.  The body used is a exacting replica of the original bodies from 1963 to 1967.  Imagine your classic Corvette imagined by you and built by Paladin. 

260Z by Paladin

The 260Z is a reproduction of the 1970’s favorite sports car from Datsun. We have reproduced it with a powder coated frame to prevent rust and fiberglass / kevlar mix body panels to reduce weight and inhibit rust, while maintaining the original lines.  In the 70s the Z was competed in SCCA racing by Bob Sharp and Brock Racing successfully against more expensive rivals such as Porsche.  The Z set the bar high for both street and track competition.  It was named to the list of Top 10 Sports cars, and often the number 1 position due to performance, styling, and purity to the sports car genre.  

Our reproduction features a modern driveline, classic looks, and clean style, designed by you and built by Paladin.
