This AMAZING 1997 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe was one of the last projects undertaken by Custom Car Legend BOYD CODDINGTON before his untimely death.   Boyd and his crew worked their magic on my customer's Vette as a gift .. but the value of the Boyd work alone is valued at $25K or more...   plus add in a great condition, very well maintained C5 Corvette with show-stopping Black paint with the new Boyd glove-soft red leather interior.   The owner of this car is more meticulous than even an airline pilot..  and after Boyd bestowed this car with it's beauty six years ago the owner barely drove it to keep it pristine in his honor.. but now it's time to send it to a good home, with someone who will appreciate it's place in Car Customizing history...    

Here are just some of the juicy details:  Airflow system etc has increased the horsepower to over 400 hp, Battery Kill Switch, DVD, mult-disc CD, Back-up Camera, Carbon Fiber Rear Spoiler, Toggle Switches, Glove-soft bright Red custom interior w/Corvette embroidery, Custom red disc brakes, $4000 worth of glittering Savini Forged Signature Wheels & Nito tires..  20" in back, 19" up front, cell phone holder, Polished aluminum shift knob, Bose Stereo, Air effects / spoiler, mesh grills, leather sun visors,  tinted window and sun roof panel, Chrome roll bars, high-quality matching red carpeting .... I'm sure I am forgetting something, but you can be assured this is one of the nicest C5 Vettes around.. eveyrone pays attention to it.. and don't let the 125,000 miles deter you since the owner of this car has always maintained it above & beyond the call of duty and improved it...  and with Boyd's touches, you can't go wrong with this head-turning black beauty !!!!

PS - the Auto Check on this car shows a manufacturer callback at the 30 mile point when it was brand new... that means that whatever was wrong with it way back then was rectified right away by GM / Chevrolet and the car was as good as new after that.. our current owner has had the car for over 10 years and never had any problems , just regular normal routine maintenance and minor repairs...  also, I have owned many C5 Corvettes and I have driven this one several times and it runs and drives almost better than new due to the Boyd Coddington touches and the owner's loving care and mantenance...  it drives more like a car with just 30 or 40 Thousand miles and not like a car with over 100,000 miles.. so buy with confidence.. this is an amazing car for the money !!!! 

Please note, I am a boutique classic car dealer in Nevada, so any Nevada residents who purchase this car to register in Nevada will need to pay a 8.1 % Nevada sales tax and a $99 documentation fee... but I have taken this into consideration in the great-value pricing of this car.

Come to Vegas to party and drive home an incredible vehicle that is quite a lot of class, fun and quality for the money ! Best, Steve in Las Vegas cell 213 500 8619

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
