    There are always one or two TVR's at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix car show. Really neat cars. Sure would be a blast to drive...270-300 horses in a 1450 pound car = QUICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    12.76 @ 114.04 bone stock. Koni yellow coil-overs, BMR watts, LCA and LCA relo brackets, Borla S-type axle back.

    1966 Coupe - 331 stroker - Bullet custom roller cam - cam and motor installed and dyno tuned by Rodeheavers Hot Rod - Astro A5 - McLeod RXT - 486 to the wheels - more fun than my little tires can handle

    I woke up January 21 and Mainland Cuba appeared?
    (The Red 74 above)
    This TVR has a Triumph straight 6, the car only weights around 1500Lb!

    Could be...but I'm not 100% sure. I seem to remember a charcoal gray TVR at the PVGP. Not sure if I saw it last year or not ( after running the American Car Show for 10+ years things are starting to run together ). I vaguely remember a black TVR as well, but that might be from a few more years back. The one in the photo sure is sweet!!!!!!

    The only black TVR i know of in the Pittsburgh area belongs to a a guy close to me here in leechburg, It's 5.0 powered.

    The TVR above I built for Zappa Racing is a full comp SVRA group 2 car i believe (he keeps changing classes) with a Ric Woods 3.4 aluminum head Essex around 380 RWHP T-5 Vette rear.

    Another TVR. :)
    This one is a 3000S, one of 100 made 12 in the U.S. so I'm told.
    Anyways it's powered by a Ford 2.8 V6 with trip Webers 5 speed and 1700Lb! It's a roadster but has a Rare Fiberglass hardtop that doesn't fit the top of the removable side windows I'm fixing that now. Also it's getting a SVO hood scoop and small side scoop...
