In 1967 Ruth Sampson ordered her baby through her nephew Larry Cox from Reedman Motors, in Langhorne, Pa. Ruth ordered a 1967 Chevelle 300 Deluxe, Radio Delete, 283 3 Speed on the column, AC. Blue, Blue interior. Ruth was a school teacher who drove a international scout, and decided she would treat herself to a nice little car with some pep and ac, and only drive her in nice weather, and it shows. The car today maintains its original body panels, original interior, 3 original of its 4 T-3 headlights, original headliner, and glass, its original bumpers, lenses, chrome trim, emblems. The car is a impeccable time piece as an original survivor......Now with that being said and Ruth Sampson a single mother and a only son now at the age of 24 at the time, this beautiful car takes a little wild turn......yup we all did it. The good and the bad of the car will vary for all of us; Phillip Sampson at 24 years of age aquired moms car and with help of his uncle and drag racing on his mind find a race shop in Berwyn, PA. to do a conversion on the car that entailed a 12 bolt rear end, Muncie 4-Speed, and a L-88, all purchased at English Town New Jersey. This journey led them to Jenkins Competion in Berwyn PA. The parts were installed with additional items that were needed to complete Phillips car. The only suspension work that was done were a pair of traction bars and away he went. The monster was built, Phillip got his wish and the car was not pleasant to drive on the street. So with a lot of hours and money spent, the car was now not streetable due to its open exhaust and gearing, so off too street racing and the track they went. The car had its fun making some money, and losing some on the streets of Philly, NJ, NYC. The car did well at the tri-state tracks, and in 1979 went into the warehouse on blocks where it sat till 1995. In 1995 the car was registered for one year and off the road it went again. Ruth Sampson had passed in 1998, and Phillip passed in 2011. Through an estate and one year of paperwork I acquired the car. Lets get something straight before I continue, this is not a car that Mr. Bill Jenkins ever owned, raced, built for himself and then sold to Bill Clinton in Arkansas. Its a shop that performed worked as they did and were paid for there services. Today the car still sits in its original everything, as stated above. Below is a list of items that I installed since receiving the car. I have the original Protecto-plate, Warranty Book, Jenkin Competition material. I have the original L-88 that came in the car and is complete, minus the Ansen valve covers that are on new motor. New 519 CU Big Block, Roller Comp Cam with Merlin aluminum heads, Dominator, Headers, Ansen Valve Covers. 756HP on the stand. The transmission was rebuilt and shifts great and a Scatter shield installed. The 12 bolt was rebuilt with new gears 3:83, and positraction center unit. The motor is cabled down to the mounts as it was when received. New radiator large single core, switched dual spawn fans, 160 thermostat. MSD Ignition, Coil 1/2" Custom aluminum fuel line, insulated. New Fuel Tank and sending unit, gauge works at dashboard Electric Fuel Pump and filter put in same location as original. New wiring, pump on ingnition with toggle switch as original. New Tach was installed as the Stewart Warner that it came with did not work. Front Disc Brakes were replaced, along with the master cylinder, lines etc. I replaced the old cool can with a new Moroso Can. I installed the Hotchkis suspension kit and sway bar. New shocks and springs. Front rally wheels with 1967 disc brake caps, wrapped with Firestone wide-oval 70-15. I have original Cragers for front. Rear Mickey Thompson Drag radials on 15 x 8 steel wheel. The lettering on the car I purchased in PA at a swap meet, they are vinyl. The car is a blast too drive and is scary fast, it is set up as they did back in the day and draws more attention at shows. The workmanship and detail is what makes this car something special and quite different. If you look at the hood it is raised on its hinges too allow heat to disperse like a cowl hood. The car runs at 195 and no heating issues, and will run on 93 octane, it wakes up with 104. It is truly a great piece for any collection or somebody who just raced back in the day who wants something special and original to its time. Thanks for looking. |

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach
Fri, May 29 2015Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.
Corvette Stolen In Detroit Returned To Owner After 33 Years
Wed, Jun 25 2014A Detroit man had his stolen Corvette returned 33 years after it disappeared while parked on one of Detroit's main drags, according to ABC 7. The last time George Talley saw his 1979 Corvette was on a July day in 1981, when it disappeared from its parking spot on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. He had given up hope of ever seeing his car again, until a phone call from AAA brought his sporty ride home. Authorities had come across a Corvette with a questionable VIN in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When they ran the number Talley's stolen car report came up. The car is still in pretty good shape and only has 47,000 miles on the odometer. Talley wasn't sure how he could get the car back home, but General Motors stepped in and agreed to cover the cost of bringing the 'Vette home. Talley has always had a passion for Detroit-made muscle cars. "I've always liked Corvettes. It was attractive. The ladies like 'em," Talley told ABC 7.
