Bahia Mission Bay Corvette show, and what is the difference between all of these?
0 comments Posted by Unknown at 10:42 PM
I do believe the dealership they were purchased at. Other than that, they all seem to be just garaged and cleaned factory stock corvettes that a lot of people bought in order to bring to a show to compare who does a better detailing job. It must be me, I must not get the point in buying the same car as everybody else in my club, like the Miata, Corvette, PT Cruiser, etc etc, club members.
" Gee Bob, is that a Z06?"
" Yup."
" Why, I've got one just like it!"
" With the LT4 and a 6 spd?"
" Exactly."
A Spawn fan and an airbrush artist... you must see the work this guy's done!

From Corona, and in San Diego for both Corvette shows this weekend, he airbrushed this car after he and his wife first stripped all the factory paint off. Now that is prep work!http://www.airheadkustoms.com/ In upcoming work, there is a 69 Coronet, a 71 Roadrunner, and a 72 Charger. http://www.airheadkustoms.com/muscle.html the Road Runner is a 440 4 spd, and for sale... so get ahold of Jason now to give input into how it turns out!

You can bet I'm crazy over the Mopars that will be fixed up by Jason.
This job would cost you around 8-9 thou from Airhead Kustoms, about 1/2 what other shops will charge you. That's a shop with a reputation to build on value and quality. Keep in mind that just the paint and materials are going to run close to 2 thou.
Wow. I'd rather have one of these custom vettes. I think I'd be a little uncomfortable at a corvette show if I drove one of these in, all the vette owners would be a little snarky that you spent more than they did.

The most expensive Corvettes, five lightweight Grand Sport race cars
0 comments Posted by Unknown at 6:44 PM
In 1962 Corvette chief engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov came up with a lightweight version of the C2. Concerned about Ford and what they were doing with the Shelby Cobra, GM planned 100 Grand Sport Corvettes. The plans never came about and only five were built.
They were driven by historic drivers such as Roger Penske, A. J. Foyt, Jim Hall, and Dick Guldstrand among others. The Grand Sports, however, had many issues; the aero package made for a very frightful driving experience to say the least. Delmo Johnson said it was "the only car I ever drove that would lift the front wheels off the ground in all four gears." Dick Thompson was the only driver to drive the Grand Sport to victory. He won a Sports Car Club of America race at Watkins Glen. Today all five that were ever built survives, car 001-005, all held by private owners.
