This car is a BEAST.  Extremely loud and extremely quick.  Estimated 800+ hp at the crank, 600+ at the rear wheels.  Wins most shows that it attends including a Super Chevy show in 2012.  The paint is very nicely done it always gets compliments.  Flames are beautiful.  Bumper chrome is near perfect.  Glass is good.  Bright work on trunk lid was just recently re-chromed.  Although the rear tires are 305/45r18’s the car is not tubbed.  Originally a TX and CO car.

Car is set up for drag and street.  Car does not overheat and runs on pump gas.  I have not personally drag raced the car – I have only taken it to shows.  The turn signals, head lights, brake lights all work.  Wiper harness needs to be reconnected (comes with car). I have owned the car for over a year and have another project that I need the garage space for else I would be keeping the car.

What does it need? There’s no horn and no e-brake so will take some work to be street legal. The trunk pan is ok, but does have some rust. Rear tires will need to be replaced soon.  Turn signal switch should be relocated from below the dash to the steering column.  Eventually, the steering rag joint should be replaced.  Comes with car cover and spool for rear end (if you want to convert it back to a spooled rear end).

Any questions?  Please feel free to call my mechanic who knows the car well (he has worked on it many times).

Even if you are not interested in the car – enjoy the pictures – It truly is a very sweet and unique car!  You could not come close to building this car for my Buy it Now price.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
