Default Looking for track corvette for sale

I am looking for a track corvette for sale. Where is the best place to look? Know of any for sale?

Can be track only/ or street track set ups? Got rid of my Porsche track car and would like to get back onto the track. Cant take my C7 vert out there, so now i am looking.

Any help would be appreciated!

Look in the Autocross and Road Race Classifieds section of this forum. Mine may be too far away, but that is where you will find what you are looking for.

My add it there

You have a PM with location of pictures. Specific pictures can be provided if you indicate what you want to see.

Hi Bill here in Merced. I have a 2001 C5Z in my shop that I'm currently setting up as a track/street car. It has a salvage title due to a front end collision, but the frame is straight and the car runs great. Only the frame rails ahead of the radiator were damaged. My plan was to keep it for spare parts for my race car and then sell it down the road. So far it has big brakes, big radiator, roll bar, fresh ls6 clutch with Fidanza aluminum flywheel and remote bleeder, Halltech air intake, RPM tranny, Kooks headers, new SKF hubs, Corbeau seats with harnesses (or you can use stock belts), RSD shifter, T1 sway bars, Pfadt coilovers. My next step is poly bushings, Trakspec hood vents, and possibly upgrading the shocks.

If you are interested shoot me a pm and I can custom finish this car to your liking. I've put together a couple C5's with probably 20 track records on the West Coast so I know how to set up a C5. Price will be under $20k depending on options (shocks mainly). I was planning to drive this car to the track and beat up on C7Z's.

I would contact Forum Vendor Phoenix Racing to see what they have for sale. They will point you in the right direction. There may be several vendors here on our (Autocross and Road Race board) with cars for sale.
