1968 Chevy Corvette receives a suprise performance upgrade in the premiere episode of ACCEL IT (1)

ACCEL Performance Group has certainly picked the perfect car to kick off its new automotive web series.

The show, called ACCEL IT, features host Jenny Long, traveling the country surprising people with an ultimate vehicle upgrade. And the first car to get the ACCEL treatment is a red ‘68 Corvette from the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auctions and Hot August Nights cruise in Reno, Nevada.

With the help of the vehicle’s caretaker, Steve Tanzi, and mechanic Timmy Hinkle of Little Green Customs, the premiere episode highlights the install of ACCEL’s performance ignition upgrades on the Corvette.

The upgrade includes a Mallory Performance Distributor, ACCEL High Performance Header Plugs spark plug set, ACCEL SuperStock spark plug wires, and an ACCEL SuperStock ignition coil.

Think your Corvette is worthy of some much needed airtime on the show? Well, submit your car via social media and tell Jenny why you think your ‘Vette is worthy of an ACCEL makeover.

Who knows, maybe one of our next write ups about the show will be on your Corvette.
