Re: Corvette LT1 Debut?

The LT-1 was ready to go before the end of '69 Corvette production, and I think I remember reading somewhere that emissions decals and engine suffixes were made available for '69 Corvettes before the...

Re: Pontiac's SD 455

Long stroke engines, such as the 455, are hurt much less by the loss of CR than a shorter-stroke variant.

While more compression would give more power in a racing tune, the compromises such as...

He's an idiot because he doesn't value his life, and by that, I mean going to PepBoys and buying a set of front tires that actually fit on the front wheels. That would set...

Re: Drag wreck, he walks away.....a miracle

Here's a tip: Buy tires that actually fit on your wheels.

Re: 1971 LS6 Chevelle SS Production

Once again, these engines were OTC available, and/or for warranty replacement.

Just because compression went down and gas prices went up doesn't mean that people stopped racing...

Re: What is the worst story of a wasted Supercar?

I'll be brief:

1. Neighbor with 67 Z/28 subjected to major hoonage. Scattered engine, replaced with 327, and then wrecked while driving like madman.
2. Sister's boyfriend with 70 1/2 Z/28,...

Re: 1971 LS6 Chevelle SS Production

When there is no difference between any of these cars except motor mounts, does it really matter?

What I'm saying is that all through the '70s the over-the-counter stuff was readily available,...

None of this really matters. Especially for a 36 y/o car that isn't really that special.

Re: Question On rebody? 1973 Z-28

Only illegal if the car that is being destroyed is stolen. If you keep the titles for both cars, and document the swap, you're good to go.

Why everyone gets their panties in an bunch over this...

Re: Crash Test 59 Chevy vs New Malibu

It's interesting that some are unable to grasp that the '59 is structurally unsafe by construction.

Re: barn find LS6 Chevelle at Hershey auto museum

Ha ha... "Barn Find" is being taken too far if you don't bother wiping off the bird waste.

Wiped off / waxed, and maybe taking the time to run a vacuum cleaner through the thing wouldn't be a...

This "Bucket of Tags" guy gets beaten up frequently on-line, and I've come to think that it's just sour grapes.

Re: Ebay RS/Z28

Ha! Authenticity is only an issue if a dealer is selling. This person knows they can't be held as an expert, and that's why they essentially pleaded ignorance.

Maybe sold to someone who could...

Wow... I say it again-- WOW.

Just to let GM know-- Those things are going to fall off after a few heat cycles and some inclement weather.

Re: New Z28 Commercial ??

Charley,

I agree with you (my fun comment), but I'd rather have a turbo 4 than no more GM.

I'll be surprised if the market sees the new Camaro at all.

At this point in time, 422 optional horsepower is just something for the other automakers to point out as GM building what the market...
