AMP Smart Revives the '70 Corvette Dream with Modern Tech

Lehi, Utah – October 26, 2023 – AMP Smart LLC, a rapidly growing tech firm based in Lehi, Utah, is making waves in the classic car world. They’re not building cars from scratch, but reimagining them. And their current focus? The iconic 1970 Chevrolet Corvette. Forget dusty garage finds – AMP Smart is taking these American legends and giving them a serious 21st-century upgrade, without messing with the soul of the original. So, what exactly are they doing? Think of it as taking everything you love about a ’70 Corvette – the style, the rumble, the pure driving experience – and fixing everything that wasn’t so great about owning a 50+ year old vehicle. “We’re classic car guys ourselves,” explains David, a lead engineer at AMP Smart. “We love the look and feel of these older vehicles. But let’s be honest, dealing with carburetors, points, and unreliable systems gets old fast. We wanted to create something that you could actually drive and enjoy, without constantly being in the shop.” AMP Smart isn't just slapping in a new engine, although they can do that too. They're offering a full suite of upgrades, seamlessly integrated into the classic Corvette chassis. Here’s a breakdown of what they’re doing: Under the Hood: Modern Powertrain Options The original small-block V8 in the ‘70 Corvette was a beast in its day, but modern engines offer significantly more power and way better fuel efficiency. AMP Smart provides several options, including: LS Swaps: This is a popular choice for a reason. The LS engine family – known for its reliability, power, and relative affordability – is a perfect fit for the Corvette chassis. AMP Smart can install anything from a 480 horsepower LS3 to a fire-breathing LS9. Electric Conversion: For those looking for a truly modern experience, AMP Smart offers a full electric conversion. They’re using high-performance electric motors and battery packs, delivering instant torque and a surprisingly long range. “People are shocked by how well these electric Corvettes drive,” says Sarah, AMP Smart’s marketing manager. “It’s still a Corvette, but it’s silent and incredibly responsive.” Hybrid Options: A best-of-both-worlds approach. Pairing a smaller, efficient engine with electric motors for a boost in power and improved fuel economy. Beyond the Engine: A Tech-Forward Interior It’s not just about power. AMP Smart understands that modern drivers expect modern amenities. That's why they've completely revamped the interior of the ‘70 Corvette, while staying true to its original aesthetic. Here’s what you can expect: Digital Dash: Forget the gauges that barely worked. AMP Smart installs a fully customizable digital dash that displays all the vital information you need – speed, RPM, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and more. You can even choose different display styles to match your personal preference. Modern Sound System: A premium sound system with Bluetooth connectivity, so you can enjoy your favorite music on the road. They’ve carefully integrated the speakers into the interior to maintain the classic look. Air Conditioning & Heating: A fully functional and efficient air conditioning and heating system, so you can stay comfortable in any weather. Power Windows & Locks: Because who wants to crank a window in 2023? Upgraded Seats: Comfortable and supportive seats, designed for long drives. They can be upholstered in leather, vinyl, or fabric, to match your taste. Navigation System: Discreetly integrated navigation system, giving you turn-by-turn directions without ruining the classic dashboard. Handling & Braking: Bringing the Corvette into the 21st Century Classic Corvettes were known for their performance, but the suspension and brakes could be… lacking by today’s standards. AMP Smart has addressed this with a range of upgrades: Modern Suspension: Upgraded suspension components – including shocks, springs, and sway bars – improve handling and ride comfort. Power Steering: Effortless steering, making the Corvette easier to drive in city traffic. Disc Brakes: Powerful disc brakes on all four wheels, providing superior stopping power. Optional Wilwood Brakes: For those wanting even more stopping power, AMP Smart offers Wilwood brake upgrades. Why AMP Smart? “There are a lot of shops out there that can do an LS swap,” explains David. “But we’re different. We’re not just bolting parts onto a car. We’re integrating everything seamlessly. We use custom wiring harnesses, custom brackets, and custom programming to ensure that everything works perfectly together.” AMP Smart also emphasizes quality and attention to detail. They use only the highest-quality parts and employ a team of experienced technicians who are passionate about classic cars. “We’re not just building cars,” says Sarah. “We’re restoring dreams. We’re taking a piece of American history and making it relevant for today’s drivers.” Where to Learn More AMP Smart LLC is located at 3450 N TRIUMPH BLVD STE 100, LEHI, UT, 84043-6197.
