Chevrolet Other Master Deluxe on 2040-cars
Fort Valley, Georgia, United States
The car received an off the frame restoration in 2003. Various improvements have been made since, but not all at once. I have driven the car 19,678 miles since the restoration. The transmission is a regular 700R4, not a racing transmission. This is a show car, not a drag car. Pulling the floor shift lever from locked-up overdrive to 3rd gear and stomping the gas pedal to the floor will scare the daylights out of you, your passengers, and whoever is in the car that you are passing. This car weighs less than 2800 pounds and has over 500 horsepower. It is wicked fast. The transmission has 17,242 miles since it was rebuilt, all with a blower. The engine has 7,689 miles since rebuild. It was professionally built by Savannah Racing in Savannah, GA using forged pistons and rods. Compression ratio is 8.5:1. The blower provides 6 pounds of boost. Overall compression is 12.2:1. Use 97 octane gasoline. A Comp cam and roller rockers were installed. The tires have less than 1,000 miles wear. Tires were bought in 2013. The blower has 12,856 miles. Power assist drum brakes front and rear. Vega box manual steering. Frenched-in rear licence plate holder with 3rd brake light. Two extra brake lights under car for added visibility. This car has working wipers, but I've never used them. I put Rain-X on the windows and the car has only been wet 3 times since 2003. I use Windex and cloth baby diapers to clean the paint.The car was dismantled and painted in 2003. 3 coats of PPG Viper Red and 7 coats or PPG clear. The car was wet sanded down to 3000 grit before polishing. It has always been stored indoors with a cover. It has been driven to several hundred cars shows and cruise-ins. It has the usual rock chips, scratches, blisters, and cracks in the paint. People don't notice them at 6 feet, but you can see them all when close enough to wax the car. The floor pans are solid. No dents. There is NO hood. This car has never had a heater. There is plenty of head room despite the 4 inch chopped top. Your friends will hear the blower whine 2 city blocks away. Be prepared to be mobbed when you arrive at the cruise-in. Gas mileage is 12 city and 15 highway at 55 mph. 2100 rpm at 70 mph. Inside exhaust noise is a nice powerful rumble. The engine does not overpower the radio for a night time cruise. This car is not perfect, but it still has plenty of appeal. Georgia is a Bill of Sale state

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
GM to restore legendary Corvette damaged in sinkhole accident
Fri, Dec 5 2014Car lover's hearts' sank when they saw images of bent and destroyed classic Corvettes at the bottom of a sinkhole last February after the floor of the National Corvette Museum gave way. General Motors announced Wednesday it would restore the one millionth Corvette ever produced to its former glory. The 1992 convertible was heavily damaged when a 40-foot deep sinkhole opened beneath a bevy of rare cars at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Since then, GM has been slowly restoring the classic cars, though five of the eight that caught in the sinkhole were determined to be too damaged to repair. This November, the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil was the first car to be returned in mint condition to the Museum, according to Autoblog. It suffered significant damage but was still drivable after being pulled out of the debris. The one millionth Corvette is still in bad shape. The automaker is estimating six months worth of work to restore the car, which sustained paint scratches, rear-suspension damage and a mangled front fender.
