Default BSP Solo Championship winning 89 LT4 Corvette

Autocross 1989 Coupe with 96 LT4, automatic trans with performance torque convertor. B&M ratchet shifter.
Car was built up in California. Currently in se Michigan. The woman we bought it from had overall FTD at the NCCC 20064 Vegas convention and she won the SCCA BSP open class at the Solo Nationals in 2005. Now that SCCA has come to it's senses and moved the unlimited boost AWD cars from BSP this car again has the potential to be a Champion. It has been run in NCCC 3E since 2006 with many overall FTD's.
Penske remote reservoir double adjustable shocks
Offset front lower control arm bushings and urethane both upper and lower.
CCW wheels, 11.5x17 front, 12.5x17 rear.
Hoosier 315 A6 F & R.
Grand Sport front brakes and fresh Carbotech pads F & R
Race seat both sides. Don't recall the name right now. Top of the line stuff as with everything else on the car. 4 point roll bar.
Custom light weight exhaust system, Hooker headers. Optispark replaced recently. Big (53 mm?) throttle body.
Dana 44 rear with 3.54 gears. We run virtually everything in 2nd gear. Always get comments on how hard the car launches. Car runs 1/4 mile @ 12.4 sec

Custom flares on front fenders can accept ANY size tire/wheel you'd care to stuff under it. BTW, these flares are available for sale.

Car is ready to get in and drive.
$14750

Good Luck with sale. That is a LOT of race car for the money. A proven winner to boot.

It really is less that we feel it is worth, but hope to motivate a buyer with a great deal.

I've seen this car run down at Grissom. It is pretty darn fast. If i wasn't in the market for a house, I would be considering it.

VERY interested. The wife and I have been toying with the idea of building a BSP C4 ourselves now that the boost buggies are in ASP and this car (along with it's history) would fit the bill perfectly for us. Please email me mccallj <at> gmail<dot>com as I'd like to get on the phone with you and chat about the details.

Thanks!

Ahh Brian, getting old has it's shorcomings
You probably remember the LT4 going into the 85 Vette. This one was built this way in California.
