The title is clean. This car is a great autocross or track toy that you can ride on the street with in comfort. It has all emissions equipment in place, although the EGR system has been disabled with the Ed Wright chip. I never used the car as a daily driver, so I have hardly put any miles on it myself. The only thing I have done with it is attend about 5 local autocrosses which are only a mile from where I keep the car. This has been a Fast Time of the Day car almost every time. The car is clean and tight, it doesn't have as much chassis flex as most I've ridden in.

There are a couple things that still need attention, but I am planning to take care of these asap. The new speedo isn't hooked up because I didn't really need it and I still lack a plug to match the sensor on the tranny. The same goes for the reverse light switch. There is also a spot on the right rocker panel that needs some touch up work. I will be taking care of all these very soon, although if someone wants it now I can offer the option to let the buyer take care of these things in the interest of saving a little off the purchase price.

Reason for selling is that I need money for the next project. I will be getting pics of everything I can today and tomorrow, and I'll post them up as soon as I have them ready. Car is located in Verona, Va.

Asking $13000
Will consider trades, partial or full. Things I will definitely consider:
Dually pickup
3rd gen RX7, complete or roller
LS1 Camaro

Pictures at http://www.krichbaum.net/forsale/89vette/ .

I ran out of daylight, so overall pics of the exterior are done indoors and aren't very good. I'll try to get some more tomorrow.

Also, I can offer options on the wheels and tires. I have the sawblades already listed, but could possibly swap out for Camaro SS wheels or AFS ZR1 replicas in 9.5" and 11" widths. Its completely negotiable.

Sounds like a serious car. I wish my car was that modded when it was purchased for me :D Good luck with the sale I am sure an enthusiast/racer will take it.

Gary K

Thanks Vette9D1!

I have some better exterior pics posted now. They can be found at the link I posted above. Here is one of 'em:



BTW, if anybody wants high res versions of any of the pics, just let me know. I'm running these through a photoshop automated function, so they aren't looking as good as they could.

Gary K

Price is negotiable! If this car doesn't sell, I'll probably start parting it out soon....I need money for my next project car.

Looks like a fast car. Not exactly what I was looking for but you did say trade, which is one of my favorite words. So... http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=601888
Hope you get to start your new project soon...Jeff

Gary K

Jeff, looks like a nice car. I already have one of those sitting in the shop that I'm working on....well its Firebird rather than a Camaro, but very similar in preparation. Anyway, I think I'll pass on that trade, but thanks anyway.

Gary

Gary K

Ok, reverse switch is hooked up and working along with the speedometer. Lots of interest but apparently nobody serious yet....maybe I'll ebay it next.

inverted99

No harm in asking :D Someone will end up with a fast car, good luck in the sale. Thanks...Jeff

What about an extra clean LT1 Firebird for a trade- It's a 93/ 6 speed, very stock, with an extra set of wheels and Victoracers.

Gary K

Not exactly what I was looking for, but its a possibility. Send me some pics and what $$$ you think you'd want to give in addition to the car.

I'll borrow my friends cam and get some up to date pics to you this weekend.

I will also by at Carlisle next weekend if you are headed to the show.

Take care,

Looks like a really sweet ride. What will it do at the drag strip?

:auto:

Gary K

I'm not a drag racer, so I never have run it at the strip. I'd like to take it to the local strip to see what it can do, but its only a 1/8 mile track.
