The all-new Corvette arrives for 1984! After a “missing” ’83 model year (Chevrolet was simply not ready in time for full scale production in 1983. Technical advances in this new gen Corvette were vast and Chevy needed the extra time for testing, etc. More stringent California emissions standards were introduced then as well, adding further challenges), the 1994 model was a welcome change. This ad showed the world it was well worth waiting for!

Corvette lovers looking to drop $1.7 million on a powerboat can rejoice!  The 2012 MTI ZR48 is exactly what you’re looking for.  Based in Tennessee, powerboat manufacture, Pier 57, recently created this Corvette inspired 2,700 HP beast that will have you cruising across the water at 180 mph while sitting comfortably in a Corvette cockpit.  The MTI ZR48 features a pair of 1,350-horsepower turbocharged Mercury Marine V8 engines strapped into a carbon fiber hull. As impressive as all that is, what really sets this craft apart from others is its complete Chevrolet Corvette inspired hull and interior.

Ever wonder what it would be like to be given free reign to race a 500+ hp, tire-shredding, asphalt-devouring all-American muscle car around a professional racing circuit? Well, our friends from Car and Driver sure know how, and are allowing the rest of the world to partake in the breathtaking thrill-ride of a 2014 Camaro Z/28.

While the second-oldest Ford GT40 will dominate the interest of car fans around April's classic car auctions, a pair of Chevy Corvettes offer an interesting story of their own — including one so pampered it's never seen a passenger.

The first at Mecum Auctions is the Bernie Knudsen Corvette, a one-off 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Styling Car that was built for General Motors Chevrolet Division General Manager Semon “Bunkie” Knudsen.

Engine removal: If you’re renting an engine hoist, remember you’ll also need a heavy-duty chain and/or lifting plate.

If you pull the motor and transmission out together as one unit, invest in a transmission tail plug to avoid trans fluid from pouring out the rear of the case during removal.

By Manoli Katakis - Jan 18, 2014 The Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans must be smiling big right now. Mostly because they received all of the $700,000 proceeds from the first production COPO Chevrolet Camaro for the 2014 model year that was just sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Meet our Project ’55! 1955 Chevy Bel Air, 2-door hardtop

Thought we’d give you a sneak peek at what’s coming down the pike here at Eckler’s. This “seen better days” Bel Air will be undergoing a complete body-off restoration. It will be rebuilt to keep that classic Tri-5 look, but will include the following modifications:

Some of you may not know this, but Michigan native and Home Improvement star Tim Allen is a huge car guy. He has a sizeable car collection, consisting of many General Motors classics, including a 1968 427 COPO Camaro.

When you look over the field of candidates competing for the 2014 Detroit Autorama Ridler Award you have to consider John Sadler’s 1957 Chevy Bel Air Hardtop as a spoiler. It’s good enough to win the award, but Sadler is presenting a car here for the first time. The plus that he has going for him is that the car presents itself well.

irst of all, every inch of the car has been refabricated with hundreds of modifications from stock condition. The front valance has a completely custom look but is so perfect done that it could be mistaken for factory made. The top was chopped 1.5 inches with all stainless cut to fit to hide the chop. It has a smoothed firewall, drip rails were removed, custom hood with top and bottom smoothed with bullets removed, plus the bottom pan is rolled. The front headlights are made by Hagen and they have been frenched, grille is modified. Notice the smoothed one-piece front bumper with bullets removed. The special leather custom interior is by Chuck Rowland of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The 2.5 inch custom exhaust was done by Juliano’s.

The new 2014 Camaro Z/28 is so fast, it outran its own tires. Here's how Chevy fixed it.

It's well known that the Chevy Camaro Z/28 has the widest front tires of any production car. At 305 mm wide, those tires produce tremendous grip--especially since they're Pirelli P Zero Trofeo Rs. In fact, they make so much grip, the Z/28 was spinning the tire around the wheel under braking--the Z/28 was, in effect, outrunning its tires, or at least their ability to grip the wheels.
