They do high performance work on later Corvettes up to C8’s and restorations on C1 – C2 and C3’s. I also want to thank all our members and guest who attended it was an amazing event.
Hagerty This 1966 Chevrolet Corvette didn’t find its way into Leslie Sisco’s family on the best terms. “When Mom came home, she found herself the new owner of a Corvette,” says Leslie with a smile, “and Dad nearly found himself divorced.” All’s well that ends well, though, as the this classic Chevy spent the next several decades as an integral part of the Sisco family.

Provided by Hagerty Today’s automobiles don’t require regular tune-ups like the cars of yore once needed.

And in today’s engines, spark plugs operate well for 100,000 miles or more. There are still filters to be replaced and components to be checked, but modern maintenance procedures are far different...

Feb 28, 2023 In the late 60’s, General Motors quietly greenlit a secret project. Zora Arkus-Duntov, the Corvette’s chief engineer, rebuilt the Vette’s standard 427 big block into a 550-horsepower racing machine. The 7-liter aluminum L88 was intended to beat Ford’s new Shelby Cobra on the track- but secretly, it could also be ordered for the road. As the years went by, more and more enthusiasts began to take advantage of the upgraded option,...

Fans of all brands ranging from Ferrari, Porsche, Ford, Toyota, and BMW will...
