Going to the darkside a little...

[Toby]

Well I got a call from a very good family friend last week, he has a '69 Corvette that has been sitting in his garage for the past 10 years he wants me to have. His son is not really interested in it, and it needs a little work to get back on the road, so he wants to pass it on to me. Pretty excited about it, went yesterday to check it out and took a few pics. Has a sbc 400 that has been nicely built with dart heads, cam etc, has a nicely built th400 trans, interior is in really good shape save for the seats, it just needs a little tlc to the exterior. He took it to a guy to get the rear brakes fixed, the guy decided to drive it a few days before working on it, and the right rear caliper started to lock up, thus killing the caliper, rotor, bearings and i hope thats all. i have to put it back together so i can load it up, but hoping to bring it hope in a week or 2.

Here she in in her glory days.

Very cool Toby. That thing has some potential to be a really fun toy! A big nasty LSx like the one Sean had in his Monza would be sick!

[Phuck Phace]

All it needs is some chrome Cobra Rs and it's set.

Just kidding, congrats, nice car.

68-72 are some of my favorite years for the Corvette.

All it needs is some black RTR's and it's set.

Fixed!

[Taxman]

Very nice. One of my favorite cars.

I don't consider a classic vette the dark side. It's the badass side. Congrats, Toby!

[Toby]

thanks guys, I plan to just get it back solidly on the road for now. My focus right now is putting an ls1 in my truck. Then building a 408 for the mustang. But i do want to get the vette back on the road and slowly buy a few parts here and there.

Yesser, once I get it back on the road I plan to hit the dyno with it to make sure its tuned up right, then I'm sure ill show up to a few meets and such this summer in it. I'm a mustang guy at heart, but definately excited to dive into something different!

Big Blocks sound like mechanical sex too. I want a tri-5 or a 66/7 Nova one day with a 600-700 inch BBC in it.:headbang: A C3 like this would be sick as well.

Those aren't bid block chevy's in those cars. They are custom made blocks. There are no Chevy parts in a pro mod, all after market.

ha just making a joke. LSxs are in everything including go carts, why not be different with an old school car?:p

LSX = the new 350 Chevy of hot rodding.

Not everyone needs to make an individual statement with their cars. Some just want them to function is a straightforward capacity.

there will be no lsx motors swapped in this car. I plan to just make it a nice cruiser. The motor is suppose to make over 500 flywheel hp.
