Ferrari 512TR "kit car" for C6
Car is not as much a kit car as it is a 1 of 1 hand built car.
Chassis is all round and box steel
Passenger cab is from a Fiero
Body is fiberglass, entirely hand made
Paint is flawless, wetsanded and polished. flat as a pancake.
Front suspension is C4 Corvette that has been converted to coil overs
Rear suspension is hand fabricated with twin coil overs / billet uprights
Brakes are Wilwood 6 piston front and 4 piston rear
Brakes have two Wilwood brake boosters and a proportioning valve
The 3 master cylinders are Howe Chassis components
Wheels are rare C4 Dymags with the desirable 11" offset rears
Engine is a 465 hp 383 Chevy with AFR heads built by Rick Kippley
750 Holley double pumper, MSD distributor and ignition box
Transaxle is a Porsche G5 5-speed manual with a cable shifter
Cooling system includes dual radiators and expansion tanks
Gauges are all autometer
Headers are hand welded stainless
Exhaust is stainless bullet mufflers with center exit below license plate
Car has just over 1000 miles on it.
Fuel system is a front mounted fuel cell and pump
Many genuine Ferrari parts make it look the part
This is a project car and the engineering in it is impressive but it still needs some work. The tires need replacing due to age. It needs a final alignment. There is no power steering pump (yet) so the steering rack feels very heavy.
Nothing under the car has been tinned in except the rear wheel wells, it's all open. The headlights do not pop up, the covers get removed to expose the lenses.
I'd like to trade it for an LS3 C6 coupe with a manual transmission. Darker colors are preferred with the 3LT option package.
$30,000 /offer

You must post an asking price for your car, required, even for a trade.

Yeah, that always shocked me that the real ones also had heavy manual steering. It makes for an upper body workout!
