Here is a little bit of info on the car. I'll try to start from the beginning and go from there. The body is a 1981 El Camino sitting on an original El Camino frame. The frame it self has been stripped and re-coated. The floor pans have also been stripped and re painted as well. The pans are as solid as they come and no rust. It has a aftermarket ford 9" rear end housing with the proper mounts to attach to the frame of the car (not a hack job). I am unsure of the gear in the rear end, but I would guess it to be somewhere between 3.73 and 4.11. It runs around 2500 rpm cruising down the road at 60mph. The trans is a Coan racing 350 turbo trans with a shift kit. It also has and aftermarket deep trans pan with a drain plug. The engine that is currently in it is a rebuilt SBC V8. I am unsure if it is a 305 or a 350. I bought the car with it already installed, so I am unsure as to the specifics on the engine. I do know that is has an edlebrock carb, weiand intake, mild cam, and headers. Its all kept cool with a really nice aluminum radiator. The car also has a really nice NOS nitrous kit. I have never sprayed it, but I know that it has a 150 shot and its a wet kit.

The body is in great shape with no rust, dents, ect. It is currently painted flat black, which is probably the one thing that I would change on this car. It looks ok, but just not my style. The hood is a fiberglass cowl hood, and is held down with hood pins. The bed has been rhino lined, and has a 10 gallon fuel cell mounted in it.

The interior has racing buckets with 5 point harnesses that are not currently installed. The carpet is new, and it has all aftermarket gauges that need to be wired, minus the tach and temp guage. The nitrous bottle is mounted between the buckets. The dash does have a small crack near the middle, but nothing major.

Overall, around 12000 was invested in this car. I bought it as it is and was give numerous receipts to show some of the work. It was built to be a pro street, but I believe it is more of a driver with its current engine. However, All of the parts used were selected with the drag strip in mind, if that's what your looking for.

I live in Valparaiso, Indiana and keep the car stored in my garage. You are free to come take a look at it if you would like, and please feel free to ask questions, as I'm sure that I have forgotten a lot. I am available in the evenings everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Fri, 11 Apr 2014



Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
