I currently own a 1973 Corvette, and I am planning on fixing it up over the summer. My problem is that I would like to put subwolfers in it, but I have no trunk, and no back seat. If you have seen a car like this then you know that there IS a little space behind the seats… but that is where the battery is. So is there really a way to put subs in a 1973 Corvette?

Please help!
[I would like ALOT of bass. Some where around the power of 2 12’s maybe if possable.]

Ford T-Bird are legendary and the current models are really elegant. Brought back from our glory years, reinterpreted for these modern times, is a timeless classic begging for the open road. As Ford Vice President of Design explained the 1955 to 1957 Ford T-Bird is as symbolic of the times as rock and roll music and bobby socks. Some clubs cater for any model produced by a particular manufacturer while vehicles including Corvettes and Ford T-Bird are served by specialist organizations.

To make sure that the paint color comes out correctly, we suggest that you make sure that your T-Bird is present for the painter to color match color. Your T-Bird is one of the rare vehicles to come full circle from classic roadster to pavement burning muscle sled to punchy sedan, then recently back to its roots. As Motor Trend Detroit editor, wrote Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the new Ford T-Bird is the clever wedding of sports car functionalism with American standards of comfort.

It is also a lasting piece of American culture. The 91 model is an excellent value for a used car. And if your it is equipped with a cold air intake system, the cold air intake filter will perfectly match it. The it is a retro design that has been around a few years now but still manages to stand out from the crowd. Taking you back to the golden age of the American roadster, and is about driving freedom. The sole power train under the hood of the 2004 model is a 3.

1959 T-Bird is a cruiser in every sense of the word. It is a vehicle that has shared the platform with the Lincoln as well and it has sufficient room to accommodate tall drivers as well. The Ford T-Bird is a car manufactured in the USA by the Ford Motor Company. And is big on style and comfort and is still an affordable piece of ‘Automobile Americana’ that may someday be a classic.

1988 is absolutely gorgeous with its remarkable features that includes platinum spark plugs, 225/60/16 tires, new computer and wiring, custom 2. For this year, it is fully loaded with outstanding features power disc, brakes, air conditioning, cruise and speed control, power door, power locks, tilt steering wheel, power windows, power driver seats, seat belts, AM/FM radio with cassette, power steering, climate control, 6-way power sunroof and custom wheels.

Knowing that the resale and trade in value of your 1993 is $1,480. Millions of vehicles are recalled each year and it is possible that the 2005 is among them. This Ford T-Bird is an 11″ long die cast collectible metal car with operable doors, hood & trunk. And it is a big purchase, so take the time to research carefully, make a few phone calls, check with the Better Business Bureau, and your consumer affairs about your Ford T-Bird dealership.

The thoroughly modern interior of the new Ford T-Bird is done up with classic style. The trunk of the Ford T-Bird is spacious enough for a golf bag, and carrying along the soft cover for the stowed top shrinks the available space considerably. This 2005 is subject to prior sale and it may become unavailable without notice. I have a 94 Ford T-Bird is there an easy way to remove the sunroof to replace the screws that came loose. Top speeds were high; my 1967 is capable of better than 140mph and that is not atypical.

Barrett-Jackson announced last year that they would be bringing down the total number of cars in the 2008 Auction from 1,200 to around 1,000. Yes, it’s that time of year where chrome, corporate jets, unlimited checkbooks, and gavel to gavel television coverage converge on Scottsdale Arizona for what has become the Super Bowl of automotive auctions. This auction is traditionally one of the largest Corvette auctions of the year.

What’s also interesting about this list is that the venerable auction favorite, the 1967 Corvette will only be making 7 appearances whereas last year there was over 20 1967 Corvettes that sold. “Handing over the keys to these prized possessions is going to be tough, but I think there will be some worthy candidates at the Barrett-Jackson auction. We’re hoping to see more Corvettes added soon to this very important and historically well-attended auction.

The 2007 Corvette is a 2-door, 2-astronaut sports car, or convertible sports car, securable in 7 trims, ranging from the Coupe LT1 to the Z06 LZ2. Even though the 2007 Corvette is loaded already there are Premium upgrades for the LZ1 which are a navigation aid, and a CD changer. The 2007 Corvette prices field of view from $45,000 for the coupe, $52,900 for the convertible, to $69,000 for the Z06.

2007 Corvette:

By four-flushing, the sixth-generation Corvette is less overtly aggressive, perhaps more ungullible, than its predecessors. The long-established features on the Chevrolet Corvette are bottomless and include: driver/sailor airbags, caliber accessories, traction control, stability control, alloy wheels (with optional chrome wheels), keyless entry, remote controls, remote releases, vehicle/radio anti-theft, anti-lockout, intermittent wipers, heated/be-all and end-all adjustable mirrors, tinted glass, rear defroster, dual automatic climate controls, cruise, outside temperature gauge, tilt steering, driver demand adjustable seat (tourist yet on the Convertible L2), leather interior, automatic and high intensity discharge headlamps, fog lights, and daytime running lights. The four jeweled taillights make the Corvette look like an F-18 taking off in full afterburner mode.

Chevrolet Corvette:

The 2007 Chevrolet Corvette provides slick practice, great handling, and the prestige of one of America’s iconic cars. But beyond color options, the 2007 Chevrolet Corvettes look most the same as the 2006s, and that’s not bad at all. The 2007 Chevrolet Corvette is the furthermost vehicle for the fast and furious drivers.

Corvette Coupe:

The Chevrolet Corvette is at loose ends as a coupe or convertible Again for 2007. Prices start at $44,250 for the coupe and $52,590 for the convertible, making the Corvette one of the overbalance buffoonery bargains in the automotive industry today. The 2007 Chevrolet Corvette has seven trims that confines from the Coupe LT1 to the Z06 LZ2. The 2007 Corvette Coupe is the only trim that has a removable roof panel; all the other trims have fixed roofs

Chevrolet Corvette Z06:

The Z06 altogether looks scarcely like from the standard Corvette. The Z06 is distinguished from other Corvettes by lots of subtle color tweaks, starting with the roof. Apart from being three inches wider, the Z06 sports a firsthand front fascia, grille, fenders, and quarter panels. In back, the Z06 spoiler is slightly more prominent, and its exhaust outlets are wider, too (four inches in diameter at the tips). Mellowed alongside the Corvette C6R race car, the 2007 Corvette Z06 uses hoary lightweight materials typically found only in the most exotic supercars. To improve the weight distribution, the battery in the Z06 is mounted in the rear, and the fenders and the floor panels are made of carbon fiber. When you equal the 2007 Corvette Z06 liturgy stats to other supercars, you see overflowing examples where you?re getting punter res gestae with Corvette for one-third the sticker price of the competition. Chevrolet has announced that the fastest Corvette ever?the 505-horsepower Corvette Z06?will achieve 0-60 mph in 3.

The 2007 Corvette is largely unchanged from last year. Externally, the only detectable difference from the 2007 Corvette is a set of optional twin-spoke wheels that barnstormer those from the Z06. The 2007 Corvette is the supreme sports car, dollar for dollar, in the world. Easier to live with every day than a Dodge Viper and more lusty than a Porsche 911 Carrere, the Corvette is a competitive world-class sports car for relativelyfew dollars.

Evander Klum asked:



Where better to show off the Corvette performance parts than at the American Le Mans Series Utah Grand Prix at Miller Motorsports Park. And this where exactly Oliver Gavin together with Olivier Beretta scored their fourth win in five starts this season. The two “Ollies” completed 61 laps of the 4.5 mile circuit in their No.4 Compuware Corvette C6.R, finishing 26.550 seconds ahead of Jan Magnussen and Johnny O’Connell in the No.3 Compuware Corvette C6.R. The two Corvettes finished eight and ninth respectively.

After the team elected to change tires that had been flat-spotted in a spin during qualifying Gavin was given no choice but to start at the back of the pack. Per ALMS rule, the pole-winning Corvette was demoted to the 25th starting position after the tire change. Despite his pole position Gavin was able to surpass the entire GT2 field on the first lap obtaining the ninth positions. And by the third lap he was 3.5 seconds behind the No. 3 Corvette which has started on the 12th position.

Gavin recalled, “There was quite a melee in the first corner with cars going off the track, and I was trying to be very careful because the last thing I wanted to do was damage the car. I managed to pick off cars one by one. Then I caught up behind one of the prototypes - that was a problem because we were much quicker in the corners but their car was like a dragster in the straights. Finally he went wide in Turn 15 and I managed to get past him.”

A full course caution at 11:50 into the race has reduced the margin between the two Corvettes to .6 seconds. And then it happen after the first round of pit stops at the 40 minute mark, the No. 4 Corvette has started to lead.

Gavin said, “As I came in for the pit stop, Ray Gongla, my crew chief, said on the radio, ‘Make it count! I pushed and pushed, the crew did a fantastic pit stop, and we managed to get out just in front of Jan. I have to say that our engineer, Steve Cole, and the team gave us a brilliant race car today.”

While Gavin reminisce the race Beretta was savoring his record-setting 32nd career ALMS victory and would be focusing on the team’s next race which is the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Beretta said, “It was a very important day for us because it was the last practice before Le Mans. We had to finish with the car in one piece because it will fly to France in a few days. We want the mechanics to be well rested because they’ve done a fantastic job since the start of the season. We went through three street races without any accidents and now we’ve completed a successful Michelin tire test. We are ready to go to the big one now.”

The Corvette Racing Program Manager Doug Fehan also agreed that indeed “It was a perfectly executed race today and we learned a tremendous amount. I think we’ve made a very good tire selection for Le Mans; the last compound we had on looked really good, so we’re excited about that. We’ll be as prepared as possible.”

The race was a tough one for the Corvette Racing team like for instance the experience of Magnussen who had to deal with a transmission problem in his two stints in the No. 3 Corvette C6.R. He said, “In the first stint I had some trouble with the gearbox on shifts. That problem got better in the second stint, but I couldn’t count on it not coming back so it was hard for me to push. Still, we did have a good test of the tires, and that will be useful for us going into Le Mans.”

Johnny O’Connell who is the teammate of Magnussen is also eyeing the Le Mans prize. He said, “The next stop is Le Mans, and we’re hoping for good fortune there. We’ve certainly done our homework in these last races.” But for team manager Gary Pratt the race that happened was nothing but business as usual. He said, “It was a smooth run, and I’m proud of the drivers and crews. Everybody kept it on the track. And when Olivier’s happy with the tires then that’s a good sign for Le Mans.”

The Corvette Racing Team will head to France for the 24 Hours Le Mans which is scheduled on June 16 to 17. The 75th running of the classic 24-hour endurance race on the 8.5-mile Circuit des 24 Heures du Mans will start at 3 pm local time (9 am EDT). Parts of the race are to be televised live on SPEED.

The Corvette Z06 Ron Fellows edition is the first signed special edition Corvette in the 54 history of the brand. The Corvette Z06 Ron Fellows edition marks the contribution of the Canadian racer to the success of the Corvette racing programme. Only 399 of the Corvette Z06 special edition are going to be produced in which 33 are intended for Europe. The special edition Corvette are distinguished by its unique Arctic White paint accentuated by a racing-style fender stripe, along with its full-width racing-type rear spoiler and polished 10-spoke aluminum wheels and of course Ron Fellows’ autograph.

The Ron Fellows edition concept is based on the Corvette Z06 built by the automaker Chevrolet which is a subsidiary of General Motors that produces the popular GM tail light cover. It is powered by the LS7 V8 engine revving up 377 kW or 512 hp at 6300 rpm mated to a rear-mounted 6-speed transaxle to give it optimum weight distribution. The Z06 in first gear can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a matter of 3.9 seconds and can reach top speed of 320 km/h.

The Ron Fellows special edition Corvette is also distinguished by its unique and exterior designs. The Corvette Z06’s front fender graphics will remind everyone who sees it of the identifying graphics found on the Corvette GT1 race car. Another noticeable feature of the Ron Fellows special edition Corvette is the double Monterey Red Metallic stripes with Machine Silver borders and Fellows’ autograph in a contrasting Victory Red shade. To give honor to Ron Fellows’ Canadian heritage, a red maple leaf logo motif is incorporated with the graphics. The other exterior marks include a full-width racing spoiler and a unique windshield banner.

For the interior the Ron Fellows Corvette is equipped with red seats, door trims, console, and instrument panel. The red leather armrest that featured the Corvette crossed flags logo is signed and numbered by hand. For the final finishing touch is a carbon-fiber “tech” pattern interior trim plate.

Ron Fellows is considered an important part of the team’s 51 victories since its creation in 1999. He scored Corvette Racing’s first victory in 2000 and continues to become the three-time Le Mans Series GT1 champion, a 24 Hours of Le Mans class winner and an overall winner in the Rolex 24 at Daytona with Corvette Racing. Then in 2005 and 2006, Ron Fellows together with team mates Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta continuously won ALMS titles.

According to ED Peper, Chevrolet Manager, “Ron Fellows is part of Corvettes racing heritage and he has been instrumental in the remarkable success of the Corvette Racing Team in the American Le Mans Series. The special signature-series Z06 model that bears his name will forever link him to one of the greatest eras in factory racing, which has produced six consecutive ALMS GT1 manufacturers’ championships, and counting.” The Corvette Z06 Ron Fellows edition will be offered in a limited number in Europe.
