Corvette Grand Sport Replica Vintage Road Race Car
This is a replica Corvette Grand Sport Vintage road racecar that was raced from 1963-67.
This car is street legal and has a license and registration.It has the following safety items; headlights, parking
light, taillights, directional light front and rear, horn, license light in the rear and windshield wipers.
Construction started with a 4” tube frame,like the original Grand Sports. It was first zinc primed and then
painted in semi-gloss Dupont Imron. Corvette C-4 suspension was added to the front and rear.
Front: Used Corvette polished aluminum upper and lower A-Arms, spindles, new rotors, calipers and pads. Non-
corvette parts: Sweet steering rack, Alden Eagle adjustable coil over shocks, custom made tie rods and sway bar,
links, brackets and bushings.
Rear: rebuilt used Corvette rear end (3:07 gears), ½ shafts (cut) 1 ½”: new u-joints, rebuilt wheel spindles
housings, 2 upper and lower T-Arms rods with poly bushings, 2 new rotors, calipers an pads.
Non-Corvette parts are the 2 rear Alden Eagle adjustable coil over shocks, custom strut and toe rods.
Transmission: Corvette 700-R4 Professionally rebuilt with 2000 RPM converter, with a manual overdrive switch, and
custom trans. cooler. Also new u-joints.
Non-Corvette: Hurst Mega shifter, custom transmission mounts.
I have the standard transmission clutch mounts on the frame as well as the standard clutch and brake pedals for
conversion to a standard transmission.
Tires and Wheels: Wheels are American Torque Thrust 7” front 8 ½” rear with
B.F. Goodrich tires.
Body: The body was a one-piece kit car fiberglass body that was professionally modified. The first modification
was to reinforce the door areas and the dash to accommodate original 67 Corvette coupe doors with 63-67 Corvette
hinges and latches. The second was to modify the windshield and rear window areas to accommodate new reproduction
glass windshield and rear window. The third was to move the gas filler area from the side to the rear and relocate
the racing fuel cell to the rear, rather than behind the seats. The fourth modification was to fill in the rear
opening for the transmission cooler and put an opening for the Corvette gas lid and gas tank filler area. The
fifth was the grill vents in the front and side of the hood, which were custom made of fiberglass, (instead of
metal) and bonded to the openings in the hood. The entire body was reworked before being primed with epoxy primer
then painted in base coat Le Mans metallic blue. A custom white racing stripe was then applied before the entire
car was clear coated.
The front and side fender grill are custom made except for the following which are all GM Corvette parts; front
emblem, door handles and locks, side view mirror, rear emblem, gas door lid, parking and taillight lenses, license
plate bezel and light, and Grand Sport emblems.The entire vehicle weight 2540lbs.
The headlight system and clear plastic covers are custom made.
Interior: The instrument cluster is 1965-67 Corvette that was restored and the gauges were re-screened. The tach
red line at 6000 RPM and the oil pressure gauge is 80 lbs.
The steering column is from a 1965-66 Corvette, with a new horn button. The door panels are new 67 Al Knock deluxe
door panels and custom Al Knock carpet with new 63-67 Corvette carpet pads and center cushion. The door vent
window crank, locks, and open knobs are Corvette. All three wiring harnesses (motor, dash, and rear) are 66-67
Corvette wiring harnesses. All gauges and instruments (wiper, headlight, lighter, ignition) work. The door
weather-strip is new and so are the coupe window felts. The door and vent window are Corvette. The seat belts are
racing harnesses and a two-piece roll bar is mounted to the frame. The seats are adjustable cloth/vinyl.
Motor: 350 Chevy 4-bolt main with new Corvette aluminum head with roller rockers. The intake is aluminum with a
600 CMF Holley and open element air cleaner. The distributor is a mechanical tach drive with 2 ½” exhaust
manifold and a custom stainless side exhaust under the body so they will not burn the legs of the passenger or
driver upon exit or entry.
The radiator was new and has a Plainless electric cooling fan with a thermostat relay. The valve covers were off of
a 84 Corvette.
The power brake booster is a reproduction for 63-67 Corvette with a dual master cylinder and custom brake and fuel
lines.
I have numerous photos and a notebook of reciepts at all stages of the construction of the vehicle from the bare
frame to completion.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
