This is a car that can run down the track in the mid 11's and drive right to the local cruise night without missing a beat. Nail the gas and it sets you back, pinned to the seat, with the tire screaming for traction. The dual 3" exhaust gives it an authoritive sound with a loping idle that sounds cool cruising into shows.
A little about myself, I have been in the automotive parts and service for 34 years. I know the good parts from the junk and the right way to go about modifications. This car represents my skill and knowledge aquired over the past 3 decades
This project began in 1999 and has progressed to what you see here. There has been a great deal of time and money spent on this car, probably 3 to 4 times the asking price. The mileage on the body is 136,000. The engine, suspension and drivetrain have only 5266 miles as indicated by the photo of the speedometer, which was replaced during the restoration. Essentially every part that moves on the car has been replaced or rebuilt. The car was completely stripped and painted in the fall of 1999 with two stage Quasar Blue paint. There are a few very small nicks in the paint accumulated over the years, but it still shines like new as the pictures indicate.
Car has current PA inspection sticker good until 7/14.
Although I only had it on the 1/4 mile drag strip a dozen or so times, it managed an 11.81 sec @ 119 mph on 11/1/06. That was on street tires and full exhaust.
It was chassis dyno tested at Swarr Automotive on 8/14/10 and it managed a rear wheel hp of 370.77 @ 5800 rpm and a rear wheel torque of 369.62 @ 4800 rpm.

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint
Sun, Feb 6 2022Fifteen years ago, I wrote my first-ever automotive article under the name Murilee Martin, and it didn't take me long to start writing about one of my favorite automotive subjects: the junkyard. Before I'd refined my system for documenting discarded vehicles, however, I shot a lot of boneyard photos that never got used. For today's Junkyard Gem, I have four shots from early 2007 of one of the rarest turbocharged machines of the 1980s: the Chevrolet Turbo Sprint. The Chevrolet Sprint was really a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, from the pre-Geo era when General Motors sold the Isuzu Gemini as the Chevrolet Spectrum, the Daewoo LeMans as the Pontiac LeMans and the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet Nova (soon enough, the Spectrum became a Geo, and the Nova became the Prizm). The second-generation Cultus appeared in 1988, becoming the Geo Metro on our shores the following year. The Turbo Sprint was available for just the last two years of the Sprint's 1985-1988 American sales run, and it appears that just a couple of thousand were sold; if I'd known at the time just how rare they were, I'd have shot more photos of this one at the now-defunct Hayward Pick Your Part. The turbocharged 993cc three-cylinder produced 70 horsepower, 22 better than the naturally-aspirated version. Since the Turbo Sprint weighed just 1,620 pounds (that's about 500 pounds lighter than a barely more powerful '22 Mitsusbishi Mirage), it was plenty of fun to drive. For 1988, the regular Sprint hatchback cost $6,380 while the Turbo Sprint listed at $8,240 (that's about $15,375 and $19,855 today, respectively). Believe it or not, a Turbo Sprint actually raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons 10 years ago, though it didn't end well. This ad is for the regular Cultus, not the Cultus Turbo, but the screaming guitars sound reasonably turbocharged. For the most part, Chevy Sprint marketing was all about cheap purchase price and stingy fuel economy… at a time when gasoline prices were cratering. Related Video:
