This is my brother's 1962 Corvette that, due to his tragic death just over a year ago, I have purchased from his widow and returned to Maine. My brother Peter loved this car and would never have sold it, so I purchased it so that it would stay in the family. His widow really wanted me to have it as he and I were close and both car guys. He and I often spoke of restoring the car to it's glory days so that is what I intend to do. The car ...

Found out the local tuning place had a Mustang dyno and was having a dyno day. $75 for three runs. They specialize in Mustangs and Subarus. I went down first to look at the setup and see what I had to do first. I went home and got the Ta and did my runs. My first pull was at 10 pounds but the dyno computer dropped out during the run and I didn't get a good reading. The operator said it showed 750 hp before it went off line. didn't show any torque.
