Up for sale is a 1960 Biscayne 2 door post. This is a beautiful car and a true head turner! It has been customized slightly, but still offers a traditional feel including the original minimal bright work including the stainless/chrome trim. All of the trim and bumpers except for a new grill and hood lip are the original parts. The custom interior was done with "stock like" stitching to keep the era. The exterior is a bright white and is in great condition. A custom billet grill has been made and installed to set this car apart from any other and subtle red pinstripe down the side spears have been added to compliment the interior. There are a few minor blemishes as I drive this car, but being a southern car originally, the body is very straight and absent of fill. Only one area of concern exists on the passenger rear quarter lip, but is not terribly noticable. It would eventually need addressed, but there are years of enjoyment before it becomes a major problem. The Interior sets the car off with a bright blood red "leather like" finish. eye catching contrast! minor upgrades have been done including a beautiful color matched dash, arm rests, mirror, etc. and it has all billet specialties handles, cranks and pedals as well as a custom red leather wrapped billet steering wheel that matches the wheels. Even the headliner has been custom sewn in the matching red upholstry. Gauges have been tastefully updated to white faced Dolphin's in the stock locations. The car has a very custom and tastefully accomplished 9 speaker sound system boasting all Memphis Audio components, amplifiers and speakers. As a radio delete car, the dash has been modified with a hand sculpted fiberglass insert to the stock hole to accommodate a new head unit. (see pics) The rear package tray was removed and a custom tray was crafted to include raised pods for 8" coaxial speakers as well as a 12" subwoofer enclosure. (see pics) The trunk has been walled off to keep all sound in the car and includes a custom amplifier rack that has been upholstered to match the interior of the car. Music really rocks in this thing! To set the stance, the car sits on Coy C57 wheels, which are 20x8.5 in the front and a 22x9 tucked in the rear. Tires are in like new condition. The car has an air suspension system with all components tucked behind the side panels in the finished trunk. What is even cooler is that the controls and air gauge have been custom integrated into what used to be the factory ash tray. (see pics). The car has been upgraded to CPP big brakes including 13" drilled and slotted front rotors and 11.5" drilled and slotted rotors in the rear. All four calipers are powder coated red to match the interior and car accents. The drivetine is simple, but very reliable and runs perfect. It is a multiple "Long Hauler" on the Hot Rod Power Tour!!! It is a 350 c.i. with a turbo 350 trans. The drivetrain was a fresh build 5 years ago and has only 9,000 miles on it. It has absolutely no smoke on startup or while driving, does not run hot and is very consistently smooth. THe exhaust is true duals with pipe in great condition and fairly new 50 series deltaflow Flowmaster mufflers. It has a nice quiet and subtle throaty sound. The driveshaft recently had new u-joints and a center carrier bearing replaced. The chassis and undercarriage is very clean. No rust issues exist anywhere, pans are great, the frame is sound and the gas tank is great shape. Even with not coating the underneath, it is still very clean, which testifies the integrity and quality of the car. I have tried to provide some pictures for review. The suspension has an air management system with custom brackets to support large air bags in the front for better stability and ride. The hard components have been recently gone through including new ball joints, shocks, etc. and the car was recently aligned. Front shocks were installed and relocated outside of the a-arms with brackets welded to the frame with very little fabrication needed to the inner fenders. Other than that, the car sits low and has full turning radius without any modifications. The large 22s tuck in the back without any cutting. This car is a awesome road car and floats down the road straight and nice! Serious inquiries only please.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

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.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1

Mon, 13 Jan 2014



The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
