Because it would take 10,000 words to explain the complete build of this vehicle, I put together an 11 minute video of the complete build and interested bidders can send me a message and I will be more than happy to send you the link to the video. Plain and simple - I have $75,000 in parts alone invested in this car. I have over 1000 hours of labor - nearly 1700 hours to be exact. The certified appraisal valued the car at $153,000. No, I'm not asking $153,000. I will say that to me this awesome 68 pro street camaro is priceless! Of course I'm the one who has all the sweat in this completed project so I can say that. While this car has nearly 1000 naturally aspirated horsepower - I never built it with the intention of racing. I built this car for show and to freak people out when I drive it on the street. This car is nothing to play around with. You must respect this car and the power it has or it will kill you. This car is NOT for kids or someone who wants to showoff by displaying it's power on the street. Like I said, this car has an extremely high amount of power and it is dangerous if you don't respect it. I did the calculations and based on horsepower and weight of vehicle this car would accelerate from 0-100 mph in approximately 3 seconds. Yes, 3 seconds! Of course you could never do that on the street because the car would not get enough traction. Okay, with that said if you want one of the baddest looking classics in the world - here is your chance. I am selling because I simply don't drive it and I got tired of the car shows. That simple. This car is awesome and I did not cut any corners when I built it all. I would have included the link to the site where you can view a video of the build but eBay no longer allows this. Send me a message and then I can send you the link to the video so you can view it along with the complete details of the appraisal.

Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
