The Cheapo Mid-Engine Car Conversion


Among those projects that we keep around but don’t make much steady progress on are a couple that are serious back-burner dwellers. They either have little pressing need for completion or are on the more creative side where there is a new challenge or thing to invent at each turn, and we’d go nuts if we tried to do it on a schedule. The cheapo mid-engine car conversion is one of the latter.

We’re not talking about taking a motor out of the front and putting it in the rear for improved handling sports-car style, rather just a good ol’ juvenile Little Red Wagon-type, let’s-do-a-wheelie drag exhibition car. Admit it, you’ve thought about it. Maybe when you were 13, but still. We all know that if you really want to launch a car with the wheels in the air (and perhaps one shouldn’t) all you need is power and traction, but isn’t it fun to look at something different like an old Wild Bill Shrewsberry creation?

Roadside Find: Real 1966 Corvette 4×4 Trar


On a recent trip back to Texas, the parental units pointed out this well done 1966 Corvette 4×4 conversion. More often called a trar (truck/car), this particular homogenization is still more 1966 Corvette than not. While trars are usually made by placing some unsuspecting car on top of a Chevy Blazer or Ford Bronco chassis, this Corvette is so such beast. Starting with a real 1966 Chevrolet Corvette, the running gear, which includes 1-ton axles, was mounted to the stock Corvette chassis.This is southern engineering at its finest.

1968 Torino GT 390 on eBay


This 1968 Torino GT 390 hit us in the gut as we’ve recently admitted to ourselves that we have a super soft spot for these cars.

This particular example is a nice piece. It’s not some super rare, one of none car, instead it’s a solid car with the right stuff like a 335hp Police Interceptor 390, a 9″ differential with 3.25 gears and a factory limited slip, bucket seats and a C6.

This is a car you could jump into and have a blast with immediately, our favorite kind (but strangely the ones we never seem to buy). Dad was apparently fixin’ this one up for his kiddo, but college bill started flowing in, so it’s up for sale. Grab it and start putting the FE torque to work!
