Our 1965 Corvette build is coming along nicely. We have received the Spec 7 Chassis and have been getting some of the pieces of the puzzle assembled. The all aluminum 427ci LS engine is here making a respectful 700hp NA from the guys over at which sounds amazing with the Hurricane intake manifold. Will also be running a set of which have great fit and finish. It is being paired up with a Tremec 5 speed transmission utilizing a RST clutch and flywheel. Should be a very fun street car that can be driven pretty much anywhere. Keep following us for future updates as we progress through the build.

Late night delivery of this amazing 1 of 1287 1970 LT1 370
HP Corvette’s that we at Mark of Excellence had the luxury of selling for one of our long time collectors to a good friend. Fixed a handful of small stuff and look for it to be at a few local shows in our area in the near future. Its a Bloomington Gold and Top flight awarded car only approximately 90 convertible’s known to be left.

Old school guy working on an old school car vs new school guy working on an LS swapped old school car. 😉

What would you choose?

A big block 66 Corvette?
Or an LS3 powered Chevelle?

Dennis Collins this car isn’t exactly the holy grail you thought it was.

The only thing rare about the car is the amount of rust it has.
