Rare Finds Jerry Heasley Oct 10, 2017 Share View Full Gallery “She opened up the barn doors and it was laying there,” Matt Barczak said. He shouldn’t have been surprised. After all, he had heard about this 1957 Corvette for almost his entire life. “I was waiting to see a 1975 Corvette. I was skeptical about the whole story.” The old Vette looked ridiculous in Matt’s mind. That was his impression of the scene,...
Financially irresponsible and worth it Taylor Kempkes Dec 8, 2017 Share View Full Gallery Have you ever made a decision you should regret but don’t? That’s a rhetorical question obviously, because whatever decision you are thinking of we probably don’t want to hear it. In direct contrast though, Peter Koretz made a potentially regrettable decision that was right up our alley: he purchased a 1966 Corvette. A 427ci, 425-horsepower numbers-matching 1966 Corvette to be...
Baldwin-Motion Performance 598 Sunrise Highway Baldwin, Long Island, NY Say the words Baldwin-Motion or just Motion around car nuts and watch them perk up. Joel Rosen set the East coast racing scene on its ear when he came up with the idea to take new Chevrolets, sold through Baldwin Chevrolet, to his shop and turn them into some of the fastest street/strip cars ever. Joel’s engine of choice was usually the...

In order to participate in the gallery owners must submit their cars to the selection committee. From there 1 Corvette is chosen to represent each of the NCRS’ judging classes and various awards.

By: Jim Koscs Perhaps you built one of the Visible V-8 model kits that became popular in the 1960s and are still sold today. Or maybe you’ve been fascinated by the stunningly detailed “cutaway” drawings by David Kimble, which show the inner workings of an automobile. Now, Corvette buffs have been given a look inside the workings of 1953 ’Vette. Commissioned by collector Ed Foss of Roanoke, Ind., noted Corvette restorer Kevin Mackay...
As a teenager in the 1950s, Edward Lyle Fisk peeked inside the rear door of a local sign-painting shop so often that the owner finally offered him a job. After learning how to mix colors and handle a brush, Lyle saw a magazine story about pinstriping, and he knew his destiny. Decades later, Lyle is a legend who is still in high demand. “I really like what I do,” he says, scoffing at retirement....
Angelo Mazzilli with his (second) 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS. Still image from video below. You may remember friend-of-Hemmings Chris Mazzilli, who’s exhibited his own Corvettes at our concours d’elegance, as one of the team members behind the restoration of the VH-1 Peter Max Corvettes by Corvette Heroes. Chris’s shop, Dream Car Restorations New York, spends much of its time tracking down cars for its clients, a business that came about because of a...
Last month, we shared a post about a 1963 Corvette Split Window that was languishing away in a Los Angeles parking garage. Some folks thought it might be a hoax, but now we apparently have proof of the car’s lineage thanks to a new listing on eBay that features this special Corvette. “This is your once in a lifetime chance to buy one of the most beautiful cars ever made from the original owners...
There’s something about a C2 Corvette that demands admiration, even – and maybe especially – one with 53 years worth of living etched into it. This 1964 Corvette coupe up for sale on eBay won’t win any Top Flight awards anytime soon, with its splotchy, chipped, and scratched paint and its ragged seats and faded carpet inside. But this Corvette might just win a sentimental award just for surviving. You see, it had the...
John Haynal’s ears perked up when his friend Doug asked if he had heard about Albert Way’s old Corvette. Wasn’t that a 1967 big-block? Haynal is a well-known car collector in the Ocean City,City, New Jersey, area. He has a 1934 Ford five-window nostalgia rod built in the 1950s; two Vegas, one he races in Super Pro and a second that is an old Pro Street; along with an original 1928 Model A...
While getting ready to leave our hotel for the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals last Saturday morning we struck up a conversation with our new friend and CorvetteBlogger reader Donny Brass. In addition to assisting with the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race display, Donny was also showing his barn fresh silver/silver 1966 Corvette coupe in the Barn Finds display. Donny’s C2 is pretty unique given its silver on silver color combination as well...
