1972 Corvette Pro Street - 427 Big Block - 4 Speed Manual Trans - 4 Link w/Narrowed ford 9"
Here is a quick history of this car. I built this car in 1984, showed it for two years and then sold it in 1987 when my first son was born. I always wondered what became of it over the years. In 2011 the Corvette showed up for sale on racingjunk.com. It was languishing in a pole barn in N.Carolina, broken and UN-drivable . I felt some compelling force to buy it and fix it (like it was my duty or something!). After two years of work and much money spent, it is once again on the road. Trouble is... I have the urge for something else! I know I am going to take a beating on this one, I paid too much for it , and spent more than I should to fix it! Now that I'm pushing 60, climbing in and out of a Pro Street Corvette just isn't my thing anymore. Here is a chance to own a Magazine feature car that has been freshened from one end to the other (except for the paint). The details are listed below.
Engine - 427 (over .030) "Ross Racing" Forged Pistons, "Scat" steel rods, 049 casting oval port heads w/2.19 & 1.88 valve upgrade, Lunati Voodoo Hyd Roller cam 221/229 duration @ .050, .575/.575 lift, Lunati Hyd Roller lifters, Roller rockers, Dual Plane Air gap intake, 770 Holley Ultra Street Avenger, GM Performance "427" Zl1 valve covers (2 sets), Corvette tach drive distributor adapted to MSD trigger by Daves Small Body HEI.com. GM performance wires and brackets. This motor is not too radical and runs flawlessly.
Transmission - Muncie close ratio 4 speed, new clutch and pressure plate, Hurst Competition Plus Shifter
Rear End - Narrowed Ford 9", Traction lock, 4.33 Gears (approx 3.90 final ratio w/31" tires) 31 Spline Strange axles, Chrome 4 link suspension w/QA1 Coil overs, new Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R tires 31 x 18.5 x 15
Other Stuff - C5 Corvette leather seats, new carpet, Auto meter gauges installed in center gauge cluster, swing out roll bars, Full exhaust that still exits in the stock location (none of that hanging down under the car or dumping out the side!) All new brake system (MC, lines, calipers, etc.), New aftermarket wiring harness, Gas tank modified and in its original location w/sending unit. New control arm bushings, tie rod ends, shocks, springs up front. I'm sure I've left many things out, but you get the picture. If it needed to be replaced I did it...
This car had its chassis work done at Jegs Chassis Shop, so you know its was done right. It goes straight down the road, and rides better than you might think, although the 4 link is a little "creaky" sometimes.
The Corvette is still wearing its Candy Red paint from in the 80's. It still glows, but it is no longer perfect. There are a couple of small chips and one bigger boo boo where I dropped a coil over spring on the top of a front fender (I have a sticker of a band aid on it right now because I am at a loss as to how to fix it). I don't know if anyone could match the paint and touch it up.
I have gone to a couple of shows this summer and folks really seem to go nuts over it. I really would've liked to have been able to do a repaint as part of the rebuild process, but I spent too much already!
I am sure I left out some information. Please feel free to ask any questions or request pictures of something in particular.
This Corvette is ready for a new owner. Its hard to admit after all the work I had to do, but this just isn't the car I want. I really thought it was when I saw it for sale. I'm just not the young man I was when I sold it many years ago. Thanks for checking out my auction, and if you are interested, Good Luck bidding!
On Jun-24-13 at 03:01:17 PDT, seller added the following information:
I plan to attend the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals in Du Quoin, IL this coming weekend. I am going to drive the 500 miles in this Pro Street Corvette. Heck, I won't even be home when this auction ends! If this meets its "reserve price" I guess I will actually be driving someone elses Corvette home from the event.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
