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.

Sunday Drive: Performance comes in many shapes and sizes
Sun, Nov 19 2017The Chevrolet Corvette has always stood out as a bastion of reasonably priced performance, and the latest 'Vette has that in spades. And while its expected starting price of around $120,000 certainly isn't cheap, it's an undeniable deal in the supercar world – remember, this thing'll do 210 miles per hour thanks to its 755-horsepower supercharged V8 engine. And did you get a load of that massive rear wing? Team Corvette's longtime foe, the Porsche 911, is similarly hellbent on ultimate performance. And as a reminder of how long the Corvette/911 rivalry has been melting tires we present the 1990 Porsche 911 as reimagined by Singer you see below. It's beautiful, it's green, and it's packing 500 air-cooled horsepower. You don't have to burn gasoline to go fast, as proven by the second-generation Tesla Roadster, which was revealed as a surprise late last week. Elon Musk says it'll be the quickest car in the world with a 0-60 time of just 1.9 seconds. And while you may not think of a semi truck when you think speed, the Tesla Semi can do 0-60 in 5 seconds flat unloaded, or in 20 seconds with a load of 80,000 pounds. Compared to today's crop of diesel semis, that's amazing. Continuing the truck theme, we present an artists rendering of what the next-generation Ram 1500 pickup may look like. Spoiler alert: Ram's mini-semi look is giving way to something much more modern. There may even be a first-of-its-kind split tailgate at the rear. And if you don't think the Ram 1500 has anything to do with performance, we should remind you that it's one of the cheapest ways to get a tire-shredding Hemi V8 engine in America. 2019 Chevy Corvette ZR1: All hail the 755-horsepower C7 king This is the first Porsche 911 to get Singer and Williams' 500-horsepower engine Tesla Roadster surprise reveal | 'Quickest car in the world' Tesla Semi Truck revealed: Here are the key details This could be the next-generation 2019 Ram 1500 2019 Ram 1500 spotted with split tailgate
Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
