I found some New Zealand friends Colin and Bernadette that sent me a Tweet with a video of their “baby”. It is a modified 1973 C3 Corvette. I am going to share the video with you and I asked if they would be kind enough to write some details about their very cool Corvette. For now enjoy this nice Corvette.
Here is a new fun clip of Colin and Bernadette”s Vette at 120 mph. Enjoy this fun clip!
Hello every one. Kevin has very kindly invited me to write a few words about our 1973 Corvette Stingray on his Blog site @ Net Corvettes. We have owned this Corvette for 10 years. It was imported to New Zealand from Florida. A matching numbers big block 454 – Manual four speed, running 3.7 ratio gears. We modified the motor with low compression heads, Crane blower cam and solid lifters, Billet 250 supercharger running at six pounds of boost, sitting on top is twin 600 Edelbrock carbs, Big block headers running into four inch side pipes that pump out 500 Horsepower, and the most beautiful sound at 5000 rpm !!! Running Micky Thompson tires that really suit this classic car. Paint is the final job to do, black again of coarse. We drive our “baby” often and at present it has this used look. Fuel … averages at two and a half miles to the gallon. 98 Octane is two dollars a litre in N Z. A small price to pay for the thrills and total enjoyment we experience from this amazing American Muscle Car
Classic.
Kind regards,
Colin and Bernadette Allomes.
