I owned this car back in the early 80's and sold it to a friend of mine. He kept it until last year and I bought it back. Unfortunately he had let the car sit in his garage much more than he drove it. When I got it I pulled the motor, transmission ,and rear end. All were rebuilt and run great. I did add a MSD ignition system for reliability . I replaced the shocks with Bilstein gas shocks ,replaced the entire interior , new power brake system and master cylinder. Any thing that needed to be rebuilt or replaced was. I put a better canvas style black top on the car and it does have the hard top to. This car came with the 454 engine and was rated at  a detuned 270 horse. I did put a little bit more cam when I had the engine built to give it a little more umph. It will smoke the tires . The block is a CE block. The engine let go very early and was replaced under warranty. I also added an electric fan as the cars had a reputation of running on the hot side. It runs cool now with no issues. If you want to fly in and drive home it will go anywhere. The car is in Texarkana Texas and I recommend that you come see the car and drive it. You will really enjoy the ride and drive. For questions you can reach me at 903-824-2407 Danny. Thank you for viewing my car and I will do everything I can to provide a good buying experience.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

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...
