I have a yellow '77. It'll get a LOT more looks than any C5 or C6 around town. Obviously, as with any other older car, you don't get much in the way of the performance aspect of a modified C5 or C6, but it is a lot cooler.

68 Corvette ZL1 - 427ci all aluminum big block that was supposed to make over 650hp. Some say it may have made over 700.  i think the big block models had problems with frame strength and twisting you, heard anything about this? |

I have not, haven't been around a lot of the early Vette's. Anymore I think they're mostly driven back and forth to car shows and rarely ever get the power put to the ground. |

Well I do know that you couldn't get the big 427 in convertible Camaro's because of that fear, aside from COPO orders... so it's definitely a possibility. I believe the Vette in 68 was a full frame car, I can't imagine GM would do a fiberglass unibodied car with a big block, seems like asking for trouble. |

Only three or four of those ZL1 Corvettes were produced. I use to work with a GM Engineer that worked at the Corvette plant when the ZL1 was produced. The yellow one pictured was a Company Driven vehicle. He said noone wanted to drive it because of constant overheating. They finally spun the speedo with a drill to get enough mileage on the Vette to get it out of the program and auctioned off. My 2 Vettes 1994 LT1 6 speed.  2001 Lingenfelter Twin Turbo (700 hp).  |

I was wondering if LS block prices would drop with new gen motor coming out. I was pleasently surprised to find LS3 complete engine going for 5g~ complete crate motor reman around 5g~ and complete new crate motor around 6.5g very impressive! I am looking at getting an L33 5.3 though for my project car with a t56 from a gto (front engine rwd config vs the vette ones which are mounted in the rear) Even googled up some ls3s for 4k~ on sale... very nice... would hope they drpo more An LS3 with some quality boltons, header, exhaust, cam, tune, would be sick in my 2300lbs track car |

LS engines are fairly cheap to buy and modify. With the next generation engine using direct injection and cylinder deactivation it will up the price of mods.
