AMP Smart Brings Back the '70 Corvette Dream with Modern Tech

Lehi, Utah – AMP Smart LLC, a tech company quietly making waves in the automotive restoration and customization scene, is turning heads with its meticulously rebuilt and technologically upgraded 1970 Chevrolet Corvettes. Located at 3450 N Triumph Blvd, Suite 100, Lehi, UT, 84043, AMP Smart isn't just restoring classics – they're reinventing them for today’s drivers. You can reach them at 435-462-5376. For those who grew up dreaming of the sleek lines and raw power of a ‘70 Corvette, but cringe at the thought of unreliable vintage mechanics, AMP Smart has a solution. They’re taking iconic, often rust-bucket, ‘70 Corvettes and giving them a complete overhaul, blending classic aesthetics with modern performance and convenience. Think of it as getting the best of both worlds – the head-turning looks of a muscle car legend, paired with the reliability and features you expect in a contemporary vehicle. “We're car guys ourselves,” explains a spokesperson for AMP Smart. “We love the ‘70 Corvette. It’s an icon. But let's be honest, driving one as a daily driver can be… challenging. So we thought, why not take everything that’s great about that car and fix everything that isn’t?” And “fix” they do. AMP Smart’s process isn’t just a cosmetic refresh. They completely disassemble each Corvette, stripping it down to the bare frame. The frame itself undergoes rigorous inspection and reinforcement, ensuring a solid foundation for the upgrades to come. Rust repair is comprehensive, not just patched over. This dedication to a solid base is critical, as they're about to layer on some serious modern technology. Under the Hood: Modern Power, Classic Feel While purists might balk at the idea of modifying a classic, AMP Smart’s approach isn't about obliterating the Corvette’s soul – it’s about enhancing it. They offer a range of powertrain options, going beyond just a simple engine rebuild. Customers can choose from updated versions of the classic small-block V8, or opt for a modern LS engine swap, delivering significantly more horsepower and reliability. These LS engines are known for their performance and readily available parts, making maintenance a breeze. But it doesn’t stop there. AMP Smart incorporates a modern fuel injection system, eliminating the need for carburetors and their associated tuning headaches. This translates to improved fuel efficiency, smoother performance, and significantly reduced emissions. They also upgrade the cooling system with modern radiators and fans, preventing overheating even under demanding conditions. Transmission options include updated versions of the classic manual or automatic transmissions, or even modern six-speed automatics for a more refined driving experience. Beyond the Engine: Tech for the 21st Century The real magic happens when you step inside. AMP Smart doesn’t just restore the interior – they reinvent it. They retain the classic Corvette styling cues, but seamlessly integrate modern amenities. Think leather seats, power windows, air conditioning that actually works, and a state-of-the-art sound system. But it's the technological upgrades that truly set these Corvettes apart. They offer: Digital Gauge Cluster: A sleek, customizable digital display replaces the traditional analog gauges, providing essential information in a clear and modern format. Touchscreen Infotainment System: A flush-mounted touchscreen provides access to navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a premium sound system. Backup Camera & Parking Sensors: Making maneuvering this classic car in tight spaces a lot less stressful. Keyless Entry & Start: Because who needs a key in the 21st century? Modern Lighting: LED headlights and taillights provide improved visibility and a more modern look. Upgraded Suspension & Brakes: For a smoother ride and more confident stopping power. They offer options ranging from mild upgrades to full suspension overhauls. Power Steering: A must-have for daily drivability. More Than Just a Car, It's an Experience AMP Smart isn't just building cars; they're crafting experiences. They work closely with each customer to tailor the build to their specific preferences. Whether you want a mild restomod that retains the classic feel or a full-blown performance machine, they can make it happen. “We understand that these cars are more than just transportation,” says the spokesperson. “They’re a connection to the past, a symbol of freedom, and a source of pure driving enjoyment. We want to ensure that our customers can enjoy their ‘70 Corvette for years to come, without sacrificing reliability or comfort.” The price point for a fully restored and upgraded ‘70 Corvette from AMP Smart varies depending on the level of customization and the condition of the original car. However, expect to invest in the range of $150,000 - $250,000+. Looking Ahead AMP Smart is already expanding its offerings, with plans to tackle other classic American muscle cars. They're committed to preserving automotive history while embracing modern technology. For those dreaming of a classic car that’s as reliable as it is beautiful, AMP Smart is a company to watch.
