Up for auction is a one-of-a-kind Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe. The changes I made were done for reliability, and drive-ability. The frame is the only thing that has 117,000 miles on it, since all else has been changed or upgraded. I am the second owner of this car. I HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS, AND LOG BOOK, SHOWING EACH AND EVERY CHANGE THAT I MADE.

The engine was installed in the Spring of 2006. It is a 383 stroker Small Block Chevrolet, only has about 12K miles on it. It was built to my specifications by an engine shop in Portland, Oregon. I personally verified every clearance and dimension prior to building it. It has a 9.33 compression ratio, so I could run 87 octane while cruising on the highway. The quench area has been optimized so it wouldn't be octane sensitive. The heads are Air Flow Research, with 195CC chambers. The intake is an Edelbrock Super Ram, which flows significantly more air than the tubular runners, which is why I went with it, along with an Edelbrock 52MM throttle body. It also has Edelbrock tubular headers, which have Jet Hot coated. It has a GM serpentine setup from a 1992 Camaro. There are two 16" Ramcharger electric fans mounted, behid the just-new radiator with a lifetime warranty. The engine does not smoke, nor burn any oil.

As far as the drive-train goes, the transmission was built up locally by Govednik Transmissions. It was built to Bruce WE4s specifications for the Buick Gran National cars. This includes extra overdrive bands, clutches, and ball-bearing pieces to replace the plastic ones. It has an 11" converter, stall speed listed as 2400-2600, purchased from there also. This only has about 14K miles on it. The car has a Denny's 3" steel driveshaft. The original differential gears, which were 3.73, were replaced with 3.23 for better mileage while driving to car events. I still have the original ones and carrier also.

The interior is in great conditions, with NO rips, tears, burns, or damage. I added a custom Autometer dashboard, since the original gauges are notorious for being inaccurate. I replaced the headliner just a few years ago also. All the power seats, windows, trunk, and locks work.

The car was cleaned and repainted within the last 10 years, also in the original color white enamel. There are no dents, rust, or major damage anywhere. It does have the usual minor nicks and scratches from use though. The windshield is only two years old, and the windows have been tinted, to the legal limits in Wisconsin; which means they aren't too dark for normal use! The stereo is a Pyle, 45 watt, 4-channel AM-FM, CD unit. I also mounted a 10" sub-woofer in the trunk, with a 200-watt amplifier for it. All the speakers have been upgraded from the stock ones.

The tank is a custom made one, that I designed, along with an aluminum welder. It holds 20.6 measured gallons, the stock being 17.5. It is smaller than the stock one, and bolts in the same location. It is angled slightly so all the gas will drain to the sump since the tank is baffled too. It has a custom-built in-tank sump and pump, which has a return line and vent. I mounted a spare pump, to the outside, to ease repair if the internal one goes out. You switch two lines, the power plug, and you're off again! If you wish to hide the tank, just paint it black and no one will be the wiser.

Lines have been run to a 10# Nitrous Oxide tank mounted in the trunk, and it has passed tech at my drag strip. A manual switch triggers it now, but an electronic controller is mounted, but I never got it connected. I also have a remote bottle opener which has not been mounted yet, but included.

As you can see, I built this car for reliability versus all-out power. It wouldn't take much to add more since the foundation is there. This car has only been driven in the summers, hence the low mileage on the drive-train. All the ball joints, brakes, bushings, etc, were replaced in the last 3 years, and an alignment done. The tires are only a few years old with low mileage, and were rated very highly by Tire Racks surveys a few years ago.

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.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
