1969 Berger Corvette 427 VERY RARE

This 1969 Berger Corvette 427 is VERY RARE 1 OF 2 only made. You are looking at a very rare piece of automotive history.  This Corvette was produced by Berger Chevrolet in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  It is one of only two corvettes Berger produced.  They are well known for their Camaro’s and to this day are still offering their power pack options which cost between $40,000 and $60,000 for their modifications.  Unlike many high performance chevy dealers Berger is still family owned and still in existence today (unlike Yanko and many others).

This corvette has a 427 tri-power which started as a 400 horse car and as far as we know, they modified to at least 450 horse.  It is a very high option car, it has both tops.  It also has the original build sheet and window sticker. Via: musclevehicles.com

The only option that was changed on the car is the deluxe wheels that is on the tank sticker to the rally wheels which I think most would agree look better on the car. 

We are not sure if Berger changed them or a past owner did.  The car also has power windows, power brakes, power steering, tilt and tele, head restraints, custom shoulder belts, pozi traction, 331 ratio rear, turbo 400 transmission (if you research Berger and their are many articles on the internet including one from AutoTrader that gives the full history of Berger Chev you will find out that the turbo 400 was their trans of choice). Via: musclevehicles.com

The car also has tinted glass, red striped tires, front fender louver trim, F41 suspension and speed warning indicator.  The car is in amazing condition as you can see from the pictures.

This car was inspected by an NCRS judge when the owner first purchased it.  It became a subject on the super car registry and he was asked if he would allow them to send one of their top judges down to authenticate the car and they could find no issue that this was not the real deal.  To the corvette purist this is probably not a car for you.  But, for the rest of the car collector community, this is a piece of automotive history.

World’s Most Expensive Yacht To Span Two Football Fields

Project 1000 will soon be the most expensive, and the largest yacht to travel the waters. Any millionaires aspiring to own the yacht will have to wait, until they become billionaires that is. The thing will cost up to 1 billion dollars. Announced by naval architect Berkeley March in a CNN interview, the yacht will be nearly 656 feet in length. Those wondering about the $1,000,000,000 price tag, that’s because the yacht will have a double decker cinema, a helipad, a drive-in garage, 100-feet swimming pool, a casino, health spa, bars, night clubs, and if the owner desires, furniture made of gold. March went on to say that the yacht could be floating in the waters in the next five years.

The Dog

A guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: Talking Dog for Sale

He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.

The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.

‘You talk?’ he asks.

‘Yep,’ the Lab replies.

After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says ‘So, what’s your story?’

The Lab looks up and says, ‘Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so… I told the CIA.

In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.’

‘I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running…

But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn’t getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in.

I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.’

‘I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I’m just retired.’

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

‘Ten dollars,’ the guy says.

‘Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?’

‘Because he’s a Bull shitter. He’s never been out of the yard’

Star Wars’ droid R2-D2 VESPA SCOOTER MOTORCYCLE

Star Wars’ droid R2-D2 has been the inspiration for countless design projects over the years, but we can say for certain that this is the first time we have ever encountered a R2-D2 Vespa.

The Italian scooter has been completely transformed, and according to owner Morgan gets a ton of looks and thumbs up from people who are lucky enough to witness this beauty in real life. A fifth grade teacher, and Star Wars nerd of course, Morgan expressed all that was need to make this Vespa come to life is adhesive vinyl, meticulous cutting, and a 12-pack of beer.  No detail was spared with Morgan, even when it came to the rear trunk. The original faded travel stickers that were originally stamped on the trunk have been removed in favor of some awesome retro style Star Wars pieces. [Via]
