1997 C5 Corvette 408ci Stroker $12.5k
Up for sale is my black 1997 C5 Corvette, asking $12.5k firm. It is a 6-speed coupe with a Texas Speed and Performance LQ4 based 408ci (6.7L) stroker engine, put down 460/450 wheel at Tick Performance when the clutch installed and could easily do 500whp with goods heads/intake setup. Sounds awesome with the cam and exhaust, but 100% streetable and I have been using it as a daily for a while now in nice weather. List of mods:
Texas Speed and Performance LQ4 based 408ci Longblock
Ported 243 heads
TSP Texas Giant Cam (248/254 .615"/.615" 113LSA)
PRC .660" dual valve springs (recently installed)
Hardland 1.7 Roller Rockers (update design)
Monster Stage 3 Clutch & Flywheel (recently installed)
Tick Performance Slave Cylinder (recently installed)
New torque tube bushings and bearings (recently installed)
C6 Z06 Shifter and Shift ****
Halltech Intake
LS6 Intake Manifold
42lb Injectors
NGK TR6 Plugs
Moroso Oil Catch Can
TSP Long Tube Headers
TSP Catless X-pipe
XS Power 2.5" Exhaust
Innovate LM2 Wideband (hardwired used for tuning only, no guage)
C6 Z06 18" Wheels powdercoated Black
West Coast Corvette Lowering Bolts
New AC Condensor/Evaporator/Lines
I'm probably forgetting some things
Chassis has approx 153k on it but will go up as I continue to drive it, engine has approx 9k on it.
The bad:
AC is not currently working due to the compressor. I bought the car with no AC and put all new components in except the compressor because I was told it was good. AC worked for about a week, now no longer does. I was going to replace it myself but don't quite have the time anymore.
The front bumper shows a little clear coat fading, but the color still looks good, and the targa top is pretty faded but that can be fixed pretty easy with a little buffing.
The other issue is the driver side seat power functions are very slow, needs to have the seat motor replaced. It never really bothered me as the seat will still move and I have never had to move it.
Located in Detroit, MI. Only trades I would be interested in are a CTS-V (v1), G8 GT, bmw 335i or audi s4.
