Long Forgotten Pro Street Camaro Gets a New Lease On Life In Panama

By Mark Gearhart

powerTV Media

Back in May you may remember we came across a snapshot of a Pro Street style Camaro just laying unattended to down in Panama. While it peaked our interest quite a bit, it’s location, current state and the odds of its survival led us to believe the Camaro had just seen better days, and likely wouldn’t be moving under its own power anytime soon. In other words, we thought it was a goner. Well, a short time after that all the forums blew up with everyone on the hunt for more info on the car. To our surprise, after a few months of rumors and ideas circled around the car, we got word that the car was indeed getting a second chance to make not another, but its first pass down the 1/4 mile.

ViperVette

By Dan Strohl

Hemmings

Knowing how serious Viper owners and Corvette owners get when challenging each other to the title of Ultimate American Sports Car Ever, I probably shouldn’t step right into the middle of it by highlighting this Viper-bodied 1986 Corvette for sale on Hemmings.com. But I’m a sucker for punishment, so here it is. I can imagine the taunts from either side now: “The only way to make a Corvette look good is to rebody it as a Viper!” “The only way to make a Viper run good is to power it with a Corvette engine!” From the seller’s description:

This is a combination 1986 Corvette frame, engine and dash, combined with a 2000 Dodge Viper body. Thus, a VIPERVETTE. The engine is 5.7 liter with a 4 speed manual transmission. The exterior is all Viper and the interior, although color coded Dodge Viper red and black leather, it has Corvette seats and interior. Options on this car include P/S, P/B, P/W, Power Mirrors, Power Antenna, Power Seats, Tilt Wheel, Top Off Feature, Power Trunk and AM/FM stereo with CD changer mounted in the trunk.

Retroman Gets Quoted in Hot Rod

By Rob Einaudi

Editor-in-Chief

Our commenting system has been kind of jacked up here for, well, a while now. Don’t worry, we have a real fix this time, but it’s part of a larger, top secret project–just give us another week or so and all will be revealed. But we do appreciate those of you who manage to jump through all the various hoops necessary to comment on the blog, and we do read your comments. And it seems like other people read them, too. Like David Freiburger, Editor-in-Chief at Hot Rod Magazine. I opened up my November issue of Hot Rod last night (it’s November already?), skipped to Freiburger’s column, and there it was, in black in white: Retroman’s comment on Hot Rod’s Corvette hack. “Ok, so I understand that the C4 is like the Mustang II of Corvettes… It was the right car for the time, but hardly anyone wants one now. But, still… It’s a Vette, dude.” Well put, Retroman! If you missed it the first time around, here’s the Hot Rod video he was commenting on. And you can see the full version here.
