1969 Chevrolet Corvette
View Description
This heart-stopper is powered by a monster 502 CID V8, which has been upgraded with a Holley Sniper EFI (electronic fuel injection) system. Backing the wicked 502 is a performance-built GM TH400 3-speed automatic transmission. Twist the key, and the big 502 fires to life, shoving the spent hydrocarbons out the coated long tube headers into its side pipe exhaust with a nasty bark. Once it settles into its lopey idle and its pilot takes control of things, the view over the top of that hood becomes so intoxicating that one may not be able stop driving it until it's time to fill the tank. And, on really nice days, take the T-Tops off and enjoy the open air as you cruise around to constant 'thumbs-up' from other drivers. While you're out and about, you'll appreciate the improved handling provided by the new bushings all around, and the stopping power of its 4-wheel disc brakes. This '69 Corvette rides on a set of Cooper Cobra radials (P235/60R15 up front, P295/50R15's out back) on its Rallye Wheels, so it certainly rides better than it did when it was new and sported...
