http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/hrdp_0911_1969_chevrolet_corvette/index.html#

This is a car we have been working on for about 2 years now, it is a 1969 Corvette with a few mods. It has Ride Tech suspension, two compressors for quick tank fill, level pro controls for consistent ride height, and shockwave shocks on all four corners. Of course you will notice the Intro wheels, fronts 18"X8" rears 20"X16" those are 33X22 R20 Mickey Thompsons on the rear. We installed four wheel disc brakes and a 1" bore master cylinder from Wilwood engineering. The rear end is a narrowed Ford 9" from Strange Engineering with 31 spline axles and 4.41 gears. The engine is a Big Block Chevy bored and strokes to 468 cid with a Comp Cam hydraulic roller, Brodix Race Rite heads and a one off Hogans Sheet Metal intake.

1969 Corvette

This corvette was built for a movie and then sold to the owners father in 1974, now in 2008 it is time for some updating. We pulled the 300HP 350 and we're replacing it with a 500HP 383 stroker with ZOOPS pulley setup. To help get that power to the ground a Centerforce II 11" clutch is replacing the stock one. The old wheels are coming off and being replaced with a set of Boyd's Harms wrapped in Nitto tires. Inside the dash seats and door panels are getting wrapped with leather. We are also adding Vintage Air to keep the cockpit cooled off.
