Buy the 2008 NASA ST-1 National Champion car
On ebay! See link below.
We at Pfadt are getting motivated to move our C5 to a new deserving owner. The car is well sorted and fast. It is the perfect car to take to NASA Nationals this year and put yourself on the podium. The car is purpose built for ST-1 and TTU. Of course you can race it with SCCA or NARRA or just about any other sanctioning body also.
We have a slate of new projects that we are working on and the C5 needs to go to make room. It is certainly a mixed bag for us putting it for sale. I know that I could drive it at Nationals this year at Miller and put it on the podium again, but as it the way with these things, you can not have it all.
Here is some video from 2 weeks ago at the Miller MPRA race here in Utah. This is on Miller East Track and I am battling with a Porsche 997 GT3 Cup car (not just any car, but the car and driver that won the Patron GT3 Cup series last year and took second in the season opener at Sebring). Melanie eventually got by me, but I was able to put up a pretty good fight for a few laps. The Pfadt C5 is dialed in.
The full listing is in the Blog on our website. This has all of the relevant information on the car.

More pictures of the car can be found here:

The wheels that come with the car are C5Z wheels (12" rears and 10.5" fronts) equipped with Hoosier R6s.
The nose on the car is brand new and I just installed a pair of new front fenders in the correct pewter color. I have not done any of the bodywork on the car (there are a couple of small scrapes on the doors that need paint and the front fenders need graphics). The front clip will be completely back to pre-race condition. If you are going to change colors or graphics, I can leave the paint work undone and discount accordingly.
The spares that come with the car are as follows:
Thanks for looking.

Clean spare oil cooler
Spare pair of C5Z wheels
All endurance lighting
Alternator
misc wheel bearings
spare belts and hoses
spare radiator
spare carbon hood
misc engine sensors
spare MSD computer
spare Pfadt rear swaybar (in higher rate)
there are probably other things that I am not thinking of right now
Spares available at additional cost:Spare pair of C5Z wheels
All endurance lighting

We are asking $55,000. As you probably know, this is a fraction of what it costs to build a competitive car like this. If you are interested in the car, give us a ring and we can discuss details. The car is available to drive at Miller anytime. We can arrange track time to suit your needs. RPM transmission (MN6 also) built with G-Force 5th and 6th

I just got back from the Katech Track Attack event at Autobahn in Chicago. While I was there, I spent a good deal of time talking to Bob Keaton who had been considering buying my ST1 car. He just purchased a C5 T1 car, so I asked him the $1,000,000 question. What would it have taken to make him more interested in my car? 
Bob said that for $55,000 he would have bought my car instead. I am practical when in comes to these matters, so if that is what Bob would have paid, that is what it is worth. My father always told me things are worth what someone will pay for them.
I would like to get this car out of my shop to make more room for the C6Z build. I'm dropping the price to $55,000.
This is a lot less than you can build this car for. Probably 50% less at least. Now is your chance to buy the 2008 Nationals winning C5 at a great price. Think of it as your racing budget 'bailout plan'.
Tell all of your friends.

I probably will not part it out. Someone will buy it whole. They just may not pay a whole lot.
I just want to concentrate on a bunch of other projects right now (Gen5 Camaro, C6Z race car and some other cool things coming down the road). Watch it on ebay, someone is going to get a hell of a deal.
