ABOUT BIG RED
1962 Performance Corevette
Take one of the most popular Corvette styles and add the most impressive racing performance technology and you get BIG RED. This custom was not built for the casual car collector. It was built to intimidate. Barely street legal, BIG RED is a fierce beauty.
Big Red is more likely to be seen smoking its tires than taking a casual cruise. It's is a blend of high performance and show quality. Along with the owner, Mike Stevenson, Pugesek Motorsports set out to create a truly one of a kind race car/street machine out of a 1962 Corvette.
Big Red has won best in class, best in show, and best engineered at the Prescott Corvette Show.
