thats a GT1 body for a tube frame car.
ACP; www.corvetteracebodies.com (Kerry Hitt) makes some.
I think Irv Hoerr makes a body as well.

Are you looking for a body for a tube frame car or a production car? That body is for a tube frame GT1 car. We have this bodywork for a C4 production car.

I was planning on a full tube chassis, but what do you have to offer?...Full kit, front end, etc

Thanks. I forgot about that sight. It's been a long time, since I saw it.

I was interested in it for the wide body for more stability.

I have the front fascia, splitter/undertray, heat extractor hood, side panels, roof, rear wing. I also have the rear fascia for the ZR1, which is not on the car in the picture. To use that though, you would need the ZR1 rear fenders and doors.

Give me a call if interested.
Thanks

Default C-4 Body

This GT-1 car is owned and raced by me in the Vintage racing series SVRA. I was sent your question by a fellow Corvette racer.
Some of the previous answers are correct, this body is on a full tube frame car and the chassis is a Irv Hoerr clone.
The body parts can still be purchased from Motorsports Composites in Wisc. 262-375-1930. They still have ALL of the molds and yes I still purchase what I need from them. They are called 84-90 Corvette wide body!!
On my way to Sebring this weekend so I will not be able to answer much more than that. I hope this helps.

This is an early ACP C4 body, 6" wider than stock and legal in GT1. Two sets of doors, noses, windshields/frames. One of everything else. Also included is a Lexan adjustable spoiler. 2k for everything. Pick up in NJ.







This is what it looks like on the track (note hood shown is a hi rise, hood for sale is a low rise. Lexan spoiler shown)

Tube frame cars are one of the real bargains out there. You can get some really nice Trans Am cars for less than $20,000. They may not have been owned by a big name driver but the value is there. I think they would make one h*ll of an HPDE car.
