Vehicle Description
WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THIS CAR: First Prototype Built by Cars &
Concepts for the 1979 Daytona 24-Hour race using Herb Adams - VSE
Parts. This car, once produced by Chevrolet as a Z28, went directly
to Cars & Concepts where is was immediately transformed into the
car you see here. Initially prepared for 24-hours @ Daytona the car
did not make the starting grid. It was reportedly raced in FLA, MI,
and CA. Most of the 1990s' and up to 2008 race activity was SCCA
Solo, see pictures. It is a fully race prepared car with
appropriate Engine, Suspension, Full Roll-cage, Fuel Cell, Fire
cut-offs, Race Seats & Harnesses, etc. In 1992 the car was changed
from long track preparation for SOLO competition. An all new DART
Machinery engine was installed and gear ratios were changed to
4:10. The engine is believed to have about 1000 miles use. In 1992

designed by Dick Maskins of DART engines. The '88 Vette heads on
the car would not do so Pete went to Dick to remedy the situation.
Very high torque wind up and hold for autocross, very seldom used
second gear while auto crossing it. At that time it had a 5:36
Detroit locker rear end in it. Back in the day you didn't have to
have a log book for SCCA autocross, therefore no log book exists.
In 2015, after years of languishing in and out of storage it was
freshened for, at least, street driving. Carb, fuel system, new
seat belts-harnesses, Richmond/Daytona pinions & hubs, and Turbo
400 (B&M), Brakes, Shockswere all gone through. Presently, the
car drives out beautifully and is fully street legal, in Ohio. Very
fun to drive and always attracts attention. Get some bell bottom
trousers, a tight polyester shirt and come for a ride or just to
see it under the disco ball. Thereappears to be goodknowledge of
three (3) Cheverra's produced in 1979 and 1980 time frame with the
idea of showcasing the VSE products that Herb Adams and company
were manufacturing at the time. Today, NPD offers a full line of
these modifications for GM's great F-Body Camaro's and Firebird's!
We have, and we are in the process of accumulating resources and
historical information regarding this and other Cheverra cars.
We've included some picture of these material but have much more
available for serious inquiries. Please call us for more
