Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette

I gave John your info after talking with him about the car for a bit. I also sent him a link to the thread. He has a problem like a lot of us do, too many cars and not enough storage space. He likes the car a lot, but I'm not sure he's a player at this point. Unless you hear from him by this weekend ...

Re: KMP Wednesday Night Grudge Racing

Yeah, my final was really in the semi-finals against a Ram truck dialed 13.99. I just wanted to get to the finals with Dave. The Ram went .05 on the tree but I put up an .02. It was a double breakout too, but he went .96 and I went 12.194 on a .20 dial. It was super close at the stripe too.
Once in ...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette

I'll contact him today. His name is John Martin. Lifelong family friend. I'll keep you posted.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette

With 105k or so, I would guess $13k would be a solid number. I see others with less miles around $16k. It's a bummer I'm so deep in my Vette at this point as this would be a fun car. Maverick, when you guys solidify an asking price, I have one friend in mind who might actually be interested.

Thanks ...

I watched you get crashed out. That was dumb.

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52

I bought these Walker Quietflow mufflers for the Vette awhile back after seeing rust piles under both of my stock mufflers, figuring they weren't long for the world. Today was install day. I was a little bummed to find out they had weird exhaust outlets on them that turn straight down instead of ...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52

As GM mentioned in his post, we were at KMP on Wed night. TireSmoker was spectating and MarkSS327 was there with his Vette too. My best pass was the 12.21 against John, and I was able to duplicate it in the first round. The track was going away a little and the drag radials I have are lackluster at ...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52

The hose repair wasn't too terrible. I was able to chop the hose about two inches shorter and still room to slide the hose back on without anything being too tight. I got the new calipers installed too. These are so easy on this car, and it did fix the pull to the right. After looking at the pads, I ...

Re: 2020 Ford Ranger #55

The Ranger made it back to Bob for the suspension adjustment. It turned out great. It's ultimately a 1" drop in the front ( according to the kit specs) and close to four in the back which gets the truck basically level now, and gets the camber setting where it looks normal again. And the biggest ...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52

The Vette is back and running like a champ (sort of, LOL). I drove it back from Bob's early in the week. Put a few miles around town this week, and took it to breakfast in Burton this morning with a trip to my parents place after to put the drag shocks on and put on the drag tires instead of the ...

Re: 1978 Lincoln Continental Coupe

That was such a big car! If the new owner drove that far for it, I'm sure they're going to be crazy about it too.

Well, that's just terrible news. We'll miss him and all the good times we had at Carlisle, Super Chevy, and Charlotte Motor Fair, to name a few.

Re: 2007 Mini Cooper S

Last weekend the Mini got a fresh coat of wax and a good detail job on all the plastic trim and chrome. It looks really good. Unfortunately my pictures are too big and I can't post them.
