This car was built in Florida in 1993 by an mechanical engineer. It was the Cover Car of The Month in YesterYears Chevy Magazine in July 1995 (have a copy). The story goes like this:

Bought from a colleagues sister who had not used the 6 cyl auto in seven years. Body was sanded, repairs made, and painted the original Erskine White color. New gray velour and vinyl interior was installed. The engine panels were redone, front disc brakes added, and new 456 rear installed. The guy had a real 427

L 88 from a 1968 Corvette in his garage that he had completely rebuilt, balanced and blue printed two years earlier. Engine and Muncie 21 were installed and this creature was woken up. Later on the carb was changed to a 750.

Only 216 L 88's were produced for Corvettes in 1967 - 1969. It was a full race motor with aluminum heads and manifold, high lift - long duration racing spec cam, forged premium alloy steel crankshaft, 850 carb. It was listed as 430 hp - but at approx. 1,000 rpm lower. It has been rated more like 550 hp +. Chevy purposefully low balled the hp. Compression was 12.5:1. It was built as a full race motor. Cars came radio, fan shroud, heater. They only wanted this in the hands or guys who were able to race it. The compression out of the cylinders is at 200 lb all around - testimony to the 12.5 comp.

The casting number is 3935439, but the assembly plant and partial VIN are no longer there - it was apparently shaved off when the motor was rebuilt

The same years Chevy offed another 427 with 435 ho. That was the tri power, non aluminum, non cam motor. Compression was 11.0:1 Thats what most are and the way GM wanted it to be. The 435 was at full rpm.

In 1997 it was sold to another guy in Florida. A few years later it became a resident of New Jersey. The car was covered and sitting in a garage for at least three years when I bought it.

I bought it and have done some significant work to it within the past year. So here is the update:

New Hooker Headers
New 308 gears and carrier
New front shocks and springs
New battery
Newly studded block
New radio
Complete set of new gaskets - removed motor due to pan leak and just did everything - head, water pump, intake.

The whole rear end of the car was just recently painted. When I bought the car it had a 1' x 4" parking lot idiot dent on the lower part of the right quarter panel. The paint matched up very well with the 20 year old paint - which is in nice condition (little patina going on). Repainting the rest of the car would be very reasonable.

I drive this car as often as I can and as it should be driven. However I do not beat on it. Not laying tracks, power shifting, etc. Keep RPM under 3,700. I have the original glove box door and will replace.

The only thing I can think of that it really needs are hood springs. Hood sits up in the back - can push down. I just haven't gotten to it.

Some people are going to think the L-88 is a clone. I've seen the intake ports, had to get correct gasket for the intake - gasket set had only the standard. Other knowledgeable people have checked it out and they say yup.

However, it really didn't matter to me when I bought it. I wasn't looking to use the motor to rebuild a Vette or to race it. Would have kept the 456's if I want to tear into it. Whatever. It is just a brute. Favorite muscle I have ever owned.

If you have any questions you can reach me at (732) 284-6599 (on est - so please not too late). Probably a good idea to call before placing a bid anyway.

The car is available locally and I reserve the right to take it off if sold that way.

Thanks for looking.

Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China

Mon, Nov 7 2016

Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Hoons off-road in a lowrider Monte Carlo in latest Roadkill video

Wed, May 6 2015

Specialization keeps the automotive world interesting because it creates all sorts of fun niches. For example, if you like hot rods, you can dive deep into the world of rat rods or just focus on cars with a more traditional look. In some cases the myriad styles don't mix very well, of course, and the folks at Roadkill are proving that on video by attempting to take a lowrider Chevrolet Monte Carlo from Los Angeles to Las Vegas on dirt. As you might expect, forcing a lowrider off-road doesn't go well, but the stunt makes for a great chronicle of dumb, automotive fun. Other than some repairs to get the Monte Carlo roadworthy, the only modification here is a set of knobby tires to achieve at least a modicum of traction on the loose rocks. Although, no matter what they do, at the even lowest speeds the hosts inside are still bounced around like they're in an inflatable castle at a kid's birthday party. Still, the guys are clearly amused by it all.
