Correspondent Allan Mason, produced a South Florida Today report on a ground up reconstruction of this really nice 1958 Corvette. The report included most of these shots, and we just found the rest for this Cruiser Sighting. Enjoy.
THE HEART OF THE 58 CORVETTE
Designed by engineers who built the industry’s first high-compression V8-s the 283-cubic inch (4.6 litre) Corvette V8 is the very heart of its sports car performance. This is the world’s first mass-built engine to develop so much power for its size- up to more than one horsepower for each cubic inch of piston displacement, a hitherto unachieved goal. Its admirable power and torque characteristics center on a rigid, extremely compact block, an ultra-short piston stroke, and advanced overhead valve layout. And for ’58, buyers could command its scintillating response in any of four great versions- ranging up to 290 horsepower.

Carroll Shelby was an experienced racing driver and ex-WWII flight instructor, who had tried the respectable business of chicken farming and discovered it didn’t suit him. His heart was in sports cars, and so a health issue brought his motor-racing career to an unexpected end (a health issue that required him to slip a nitro-glycerin capsule under his tongue when he went racing) he decided to dare to take the gamble and try his hand at sports car building.
Carroll Shelby understood that it was beyond his means to simply create a new car but he also knew, from his racing contacts, about potential cars that could serve as the basis for what he wanted to build. Over in Britain was a small specialist sports car maker called AC who were building a model called the AC Ace. It was intelligently designed and handled beautifully, but suffered from the great malaise of most British sports cars, it did not have a big thumping American V8 engine burbling under its svelte aluminum hood.
THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT
The word Mopar itself is actually a combination of the words “motor” and “parts.” The word was first used back in the 1920s to sell Chrysler car parts. The name became its own brand starting in 1937. Since those early days, Mopar has come to be an umbrella term used to describe the different vehicles and parts that make up the different brands owned over the years.
Throughout the years, Chrysler has manufactured some of the most familiar domestic brands around. This has included Dodge, Plymouth, Jeep, and the Dodge Ram trucks (such as the Ram 1500). Most recently, Chrysler has merged with Fiat, bringing some of the largest European vehicle brands under the Mopar moniker. While Mopar does not actually manufacture cars directly, Chrysler has used Mopar products to produce different types limited-edition vehicles over the years.
Why is Chilly Green better than Willy Redd?
The Pepper brothers are well-known for their ability to provide a spicy kick to everything from Chevy’s to Ford’s. Although they are mostly famous for their culinary uses, the chili Pepper brothers also boast a long list of health benefits as well. Not only do these spicy super hosts contain a plethora of antioxidants, but the chili Pepper brothers also have been shown to improve digestive health, reduce blood pressure levels and bump up a fat-burning desire to attend car shows. (FYI: The Pepper Brothers had the same planters, but different botanists.)
Higher Chili Pepper Consumption Linked to better car shows.
People who consumed dishes seasoned with Chilly and Willy more than four times per week experienced better car shows than ever before. In what authors say is the first large study of its kind, new research documents an inverse association between chili pepper consumption and the risk of bad or terrible car shows. The findings, this time focusing on an American population already likely to be eating a different diet, confirm those of other cohort studies conducted in other regions.
