Fall Carlisle 2009 Pics

[x Baldwin Motion]

Weren't there a few factory 427 PG Corvettes in 66 or 67?

I would also figure if there was a dealer that "made several" of these 427 conversions he would be on the map and not an unknown...

The car is NOT an SS with the 136 VIN, the entire story is filled with hen's teeth.

Kasey, this had already changed hands and the guy would not even talk about doubling his money. Sorry pal, I tried!!

Seems I said this a week or so ago Rick - "Man, you do get around."

Maybe I'm still living in the dark ages, but I gotta ask - how does he get the Red smoke? Put residue of some sort on them or are they built that way. This enquiring mind wants to know

There is "red rubber" in the tread compound. At least it appears that way when they are not spinning.

yah. they are built like that. you can get tons of colors from pink to green. they are real fun. but id imagine they would cause you to burn through alot of sets of tires. haha.

+++ Chris +++ Thanks for trying, just think all that space in the back, you could put a couple of 427's in there, then I'd show them what a Corvair can do with alittle " Horsey Power ", but No matter, they would still Laugh at the overall Look's of the car....

Thanks again for trying.

Absolutely, but not behind the solid lifter (ie, "hi-perf") 427s...

I think 390- and 400-hp 1967 Vettes had the Powerglide as an option? Not till '69 was the auto available on higher-performance Vettes?

[markjohnson]

Yeah, that's all correct and that Powerglide even carried over into '68 where it was still available on the 390 HP and 400 HP 427 CID Corvettes. That 400 HP Tri-carbed engine may look pretty exotic and racey, but it was actually pretty tame with it's smooth-idle hydraulic cam (yuck!) and it's oval port heads. Kinda funny, but that engine has always reminded me of that snake that can rear up and spread it's back wide across just like a poisonous Cobra but in reality, it's just a harmless snake. Anyway, in '69, I guess they feel like they got that Turbo 400 developed enough to offer it in the high horse 435 cars and even the L-88's. Now there's the torture test!
