Did you post picture already? If not, can you provide a link? Who installed the setup? When? Miles?

71SHARK454

The drivetrain work was done by Morgan Motorsports and A&A Corvettes out here on the west coast. The car has 25k miles total 5K on since the 427 was put in. Not sure how to post pictures, maybe someone can help me.

I will be flying to see Andy at A&A between 15-17 Aug. How far are you from his shop?

71SHARK454

I'm about 42 miles from his new shop

Sportsdude

Thank you, that's not too far. I was looking at doing a 427 also. Let me visit Andy first and see what he can do for me.

So why do the trade or sale? Is it Calif smogable?

71SHARK454

Need something a little tamer and less expensive. Already have 2 other "play cars" a 71 big block vette and a 68 pro touring Camaro SS, 2 young children, and a wife that thinks I'm going to kill myself in this car. It is a lot of car for someone who is looking for a wickedly fast car that gets looks everywhere it goes. If you were given a stock convertable C5 for free you would still need more than $50k to duplicate this car. As far as CA smog, it does not have cats, air inj, and a C.A.R.B. legal supercharger, so as it is not smogable. Still looking for some help on posting some pics.......anyone? Thanks, Bill

I emailed you about posting the pics. Email them to me.

Beautiful! Didn't this car recently sell on Ebay?

TorqueWinsRaces

Wasn't the one on ebay black?

71SHARK454

Good memory, it's the same one that was on ebay.

TorqueWinsRaces

All I can say is that if my wife hadn't talked me into buying her an overpriced pig Expedition, I would have this baby in my garage. That is one seriously beautiful car. I fell in love with it when it was on ebay, and my longing hasn't subsided one bit.

Good luck with the sale.

71SHARK454

Thanks for the compliments, at this point I'm not "pushing" to sell it, I really love the car, but I kept my promise to my wife that I would "try" to find a buyer .

Just out of curiosity (and a TTT for ya! ), is it a manual or auto tranny? And have any upgrades been done to the tranny?

71SHARK454

It's a fully built auto with a Torque Drive package, hardened input shaft, billet servo, upgraded pump, boost valve, planetaries, Alto clutches, Koleen steel plates, Yank converter and external cooler with fan (one side of the Z06 ducts, the other duct has a diff cooler with fan).

I have a legal situation that will not be resolved until Sept 16th. If everything goes well, and if the car hasn't sold, I'm going to see if I can swing this somehow. Where there's a will, there's a way.
