Corvette Grand Sport Replica Vintage Road Race Car
This is a replica Corvette Grand Sport Vintage road racecar that was raced from 1963-67.
This car is street legal and has a license and registration.It has the following safety items; headlights, parking
light, taillights, directional light front and rear, horn, license light in the rear and windshield wipers.
Construction started with a 4” tube frame,like the original Grand Sports. It was first zinc primed and then
painted in semi-gloss Dupont Imron. Corvette C-4 suspension was added to the front and rear.
Front: Used Corvette polished aluminum upper and lower A-Arms, spindles, new rotors, calipers and pads. Non-
corvette parts: Sweet steering rack, Alden Eagle adjustable coil over shocks, custom made tie rods and sway bar,
links, brackets and bushings.
Rear: rebuilt used Corvette rear end (3:07 gears), ½ shafts (cut) 1 ½”: new u-joints, rebuilt wheel spindles
housings, 2 upper and lower T-Arms rods with poly bushings, 2 new rotors, calipers an pads.
Non-Corvette parts are the 2 rear Alden Eagle adjustable coil over shocks, custom strut and toe rods.
Transmission: Corvette 700-R4 Professionally rebuilt with 2000 RPM converter, with a manual overdrive switch, and
custom trans. cooler. Also new u-joints.
Non-Corvette: Hurst Mega shifter, custom transmission mounts.
I have the standard transmission clutch mounts on the frame as well as the standard clutch and brake pedals for
conversion to a standard transmission.
Tires and Wheels: Wheels are American Torque Thrust 7” front 8 ½” rear with
B.F. Goodrich tires.
Body: The body was a one-piece kit car fiberglass body that was professionally modified. The first modification
was to reinforce the door areas and the dash to accommodate original 67 Corvette coupe doors with 63-67 Corvette
hinges and latches. The second was to modify the windshield and rear window areas to accommodate new reproduction
glass windshield and rear window. The third was to move the gas filler area from the side to the rear and relocate
the racing fuel cell to the rear, rather than behind the seats. The fourth modification was to fill in the rear
opening for the transmission cooler and put an opening for the Corvette gas lid and gas tank filler area. The
fifth was the grill vents in the front and side of the hood, which were custom made of fiberglass, (instead of
metal) and bonded to the openings in the hood. The entire body was reworked before being primed with epoxy primer
then painted in base coat Le Mans metallic blue. A custom white racing stripe was then applied before the entire
car was clear coated.
The front and side fender grill are custom made except for the following which are all GM Corvette parts; front
emblem, door handles and locks, side view mirror, rear emblem, gas door lid, parking and taillight lenses, license
plate bezel and light, and Grand Sport emblems.The entire vehicle weight 2540lbs.
The headlight system and clear plastic covers are custom made.
Interior: The instrument cluster is 1965-67 Corvette that was restored and the gauges were re-screened. The tach
red line at 6000 RPM and the oil pressure gauge is 80 lbs.
The steering column is from a 1965-66 Corvette, with a new horn button. The door panels are new 67 Al Knock deluxe
door panels and custom Al Knock carpet with new 63-67 Corvette carpet pads and center cushion. The door vent
window crank, locks, and open knobs are Corvette. All three wiring harnesses (motor, dash, and rear) are 66-67
Corvette wiring harnesses. All gauges and instruments (wiper, headlight, lighter, ignition) work. The door
weather-strip is new and so are the coupe window felts. The door and vent window are Corvette. The seat belts are
racing harnesses and a two-piece roll bar is mounted to the frame. The seats are adjustable cloth/vinyl.
Motor: 350 Chevy 4-bolt main with new Corvette aluminum head with roller rockers. The intake is aluminum with a
600 CMF Holley and open element air cleaner. The distributor is a mechanical tach drive with 2 ½” exhaust
manifold and a custom stainless side exhaust under the body so they will not burn the legs of the passenger or
driver upon exit or entry.
The radiator was new and has a Plainless electric cooling fan with a thermostat relay. The valve covers were off of
a 84 Corvette.
The power brake booster is a reproduction for 63-67 Corvette with a dual master cylinder and custom brake and fuel
lines.
I have numerous photos and a notebook of reciepts at all stages of the construction of the vehicle from the bare
frame to completion.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee
Tue, Sep 8 2015General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again
Thu, Sep 25 2014The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
