Vette(s): 1981 red with silver interior,350(L-81), 350TH, glass t-tops, aluminium rims, 1980 Black/ Black int., 350 GM crate engine/350TH, 1976 black/ saddle int., L-82 w/headers, holly carb, Hypertech ignition

The car was done in Canada at a place called Perfection Auto in Port Moody, British Colombia.  It was 1 of 9 that they did for that year vette.   And apparently,  out those nine they did,  one  was reported to be a twin-turbo'd small block that was said to have 1100 hp. (wish my '81 was like that),  so they says.   Not that I knew any of these facts before,  but if you missed it,  read the "ask the seller a question" part.  Some guy wrote in claming he remembers working on it at that company back then.  If its true ,  it's kind of cool......

Vette(s): 1981 - 59 Beige over Cinnebar leather. Edlebrock top end, 2200 stall w/shift kit, 3:55s, Mufflex maniback exhaust, nice stereo, 16 in AREs w/BFGs
The nice thing about my job is I can look at what was made by who.  Absolute fact - NO factory approved rag top Vettes in the years mentioned.  HOWEVER, ASC did do some chops and were sold thru dealers BUT were listed as customs, not factory.
