You asked...and here are some Vettes recently seen in "Your Ride In The Spotlight" in the pages of Corvette Fever. This time, we've got a "Silver Bullet" Corvette Limo (Yes, you read that right!) ..and a VERY original '82.
From One Vette Lover To Another
Gary ShawverBeavertown, Pennsylvania1982 Corvette
I'm sending a picture of my 1982 Corvette. It's powered by the CrossFire Injected 350. I bought it off a 72 year-old woman who’d had it from new. Her husband had had a stroke, and she was going to trade it in on a wheelchair-accessible van. They were offering her peanuts, so I offered a fair price. She was well-pleased, and so was I. It had 12,000 miles on it, and all was original. I had to replace the tires that looked like new, but were all weather-cracked. I washed and detailed it for hours on end, and It came back to life like a real showroom beauty. While I need to continue to work some bugs out of it, I just keep thinking how lucky I am!Silver Bullet StingrayMcJacks CorvettesSanta Ana, California1969 Corvette Stingray (Large caliber)
What do you do when you have five years of time and two extra ‘69 Corvettes?Do what McJacks Corvettes did--build the ultimate four-door Corvette for the family man…the C3 Corvette that Chevrolet didn’t think of: The Silver Bullet!Its chassis features include air suspension and a fuel injected 350 teamed with a 700R4 transmission. Outside, there are shaved doors, four T-tops and four electric windows, side pipes that go on forever, American Racing wheels and electric headlights. The interior is the biggest surprise. Inside, there’s a digital dash housing a Pioneer stereo with DVD players, four TV’s, a navigation system and rear camera. A lot of other ’69 Vette factory options were included like power steering, tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, power brakes, electric seats (four) and cold air conditioning.Sometimes, getting there is way more fun than being there!
