If anyone has questions about the car, you can ask me too. The price is very negotiable. It ran 11.6 at 119 all day in Hawaii prior to track closing on Oahu. That was a few years back. Its been rebuilt from the engine back. More Performance in North Carolina originally did the motor. I then put a different cam, rings, bearings and oil pump in it and had the heads redone at the same time in 2009. Sure, cost seems high, but, for an LT1 she runs very good, and puts down 425 rwhp, SAE. Not bad. AC runs, drives very well and can handle very well as well as stopping. Even the steering column was rebuilt, not just the pins as most do on tilt wheels, but the housings too.
This car also has many extra parts for it. It has allot of labor put in it, just needs a new owner that can do some aesthetics for it, ie interior carpet. Has a few road chips and such, as it was a rare Corvette in that it was actually driven, and some have known from when it was originally here from 96-99.
The suspension is also set up for autocrossing with ZO7 springs, new ball joints, bushings, tie rods, bearings, studs and some trick pieces from Vette Brake and Products and Doug Rippie Motorsports. They were serious contributors into the Corvette challenge era for the C4, and their products along with the Reher Morrison ZO7 springs, were direct results of their success while racing C4's. Of course, you have to like the C4 to appreciate whats been done to it.
Anyways, let me know it there are any questions. Steve
