1998 Chevy Corvette convertible I can and will e-mail more pics upon request

The first picture is how the car looked before IPS got a hold of it. I added a couple pics they sent me as Livernois was building the engine. And one picture of what IPS did on their joy ride when they were suppose to be breaking in the engine.

Totaled - not by me, I took it to IPS Motorsports in Columbus, Ohio. They dropped in a brand new LS3 fully built (details below) and a new clutch. They were putting break in miles on it before dyno tune and the guy was hot rodding it joy ride and threw it into a brick mailbox enclosure. There insurance was going to repair the car b/c of all modifications that was done it was worth a considerable amount. I did not want the car back, I wanted an untotaled car like what I had. They weren't going to do that. My attorney got the car totaled at a lesser value so I could get more out of it (since I got nothing out of IPS). So here it is forsale. The price of reserve is less than what the engine has in it. Basically buying a full built complete brand new engine and getting a car with it for less than what the engine alone is worth.

 

Engine -

  • LS3 Darton Sleeved Block
  • Manley Forged Crankshaft
  • Diamond Forged Pistons
  • Total Seal Steel Rings
  • Trend Heavy Wall Wrist Pins
  • Clevite Coated Bearings
  • ARP Main Studs
 
  • Sleeved
  • Deck Plate Honed 
  • Align Honed
  • Main and Rod Clearances Set
  • Stroker Clearance on Block
  • Radius/Prep Block
  • Balance Crankshaft
  • Prep Block Oil Passages
  • Prep Crankshaft Oil Holes
  • Fully Assembled

 

This car also has custom paint on hood and decklid (no good), The hood is good still, Ghost C5 emblem on it. The front bumper shaved emblem and license filler is molded in. Along with functional z06 screens in front bumper and function rear z06 screens, Ace Slick Z07 wheels, 2" adapter on rears for L5 Flares, slotted and cross drilled zink coated rotors all 4 corners, and blacked out front turn signals. ACI front ground effect with a ONE OF A KIND ACI SAVER / SPLITTER, it is made out of stainless steel. Car is lowered 1.5". 19x11 rear (one needs replaced) 18x9.5 front

As the car sits... This would make a great start to a Factory 5 five Racing GTM car. All front end suspension is good. Most of body is good besides Doors needing some repair along with convertible lid cover and the passenger L5 quarter and rear bumper. Decklid and driver quarter need replaced. The car can't be started. The lower bell housing along with full exhaust (minus headers), drive line cover and anti sway bar IPS still has. Don't ask me how they can get away with that but they did.

This car was an all out show car for me. I only took it on nice days to work and took it to shows. I did not race the car. I don't know what all would take to rebuild it. It is more work than it's worth to me. That is why I am selling it as a car but you buy the engine and get the car with it. If someone were to buy the car and part it out, I don't doubt that they could get double the price they buy it for. I'm not in for parting a car though, it takes forever and I just want it gone. If there are any questions please e-mail me thru ebay. I reserve the right to sell locally. And buyer handles all shipping/towing. Thank you.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.

Burt Reynolds' movie re-creations fetch $379,500 in Vegas

Wed, Oct 3 2018

The recent death of Hollywood legend and automotive enthusiast Burt Reynolds helped drive up the value of four of his former cars from the 1970s and '80s, which sold last weekend at Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction for a combined $379,500. Reynolds, who died Sept. 6 at age 82, had offered three Pontiac Trans Ams — two of them re-creations of the cars he drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Hooper" and the third from 1984 used to promote his United States Football League team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth was a 1978 Chevrolet R30 pickup truck, styled like the one featured in "Cannonball Run." The "Bandit" re-creation, a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that Reynolds ordered to be as "movie-correct" as possible but featuring a custom-built 200-4R automatic transmission, sold for $192,500. The car features a freshly built Pontiac 400 cubic-inch V8 mated to a four-speed automatic and featuring all-new Butler Performance parts and air-conditioning components. Reynolds reportedly said this was his favorite car from his films, and it even came with an authentic movie-correct CB radio and CB antenna. The red retro-rocket "Hooper" '78 Firebird, with a 403 cubic-inch V8 and a three-speed automatic, hammered for $88,000. By comparison, a gold 1978 Trans Am also offered at the Las Vegas auction but not connected to Reynolds fetched $27,500. The 1987 Chevy R30 pickup was a re-creation of the Indy Hauler pace truck seen jumping over a moving freight train in "Cannonball Run." It hammered for $49,500. The fourth car never appeared in any of Reynolds' films but is instead the only surviving example of two Trans Ams used to promote the Tampa Bay Bandits of the now-defunct USFL, having been driven out onto the field by Reynolds and his late friend and co-star, Jerry Reed, during opening day one season. It also sold for $49,500. At the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in 2016, Reynolds accompanied a 1977 Trans Am used to promote "Bandit" onto the auction block. That car sold for $550,000.
