Here at Farm Boy Garage we love GM muscle cars. We also love to resurrect old muscle cars and classic trucks , so if you have a classic that needs a complete restoration, we would love to talk to you.

General Motors introduced the LS series in the then-new 1997 Corvette (C5) as the all aluminum LS1 V8.
