Any interest in an 8.50 certed C5 body or complete 8 sec car?
I have a 2001 C5 coupe here that used to be owned by Alan (Asmokegars on CF) that held the supercharging record for a handful of years. I had planned on finishing it as my road race car since I took ownership of the body a little while ago. The problem is that the car is already a certed 8.50 NHRA legal car, with a para chute mount, Kirky seats, line lock, trans brake button, etc etc, and would require a fair amount of changes to be made for the conversion to road racing. Nothing crazy, but enough, and it's a shame to convert a completed drag ready car. So I figured I would gauge some interest in seeing if anyone would like a "turn key" eight second car completed for them, and I would just look for a T1 car or something that I do not have to convert back. It would be faster in the long run for me, and time is always a premium around here, especially for our personal projects.
I have my complete drive train from my convertible that I can freshen up and make a package deal with the car, installed and tuned. I will guaranty the car to be an eight second car if you go with our complete drive train, and will take you to the track and "show you the ropes" of driving an eight second car if necessary.
I will put pricing together upon request since there might different directions people might want to go with it, or parts already owned and so on. We do not have to make an eight second car if that's beyond what you are looking for, but the "deal of the day" is on my 402 Paxton combo from last season which ran a best of 8.63.
The car presently has it's AC & PS, and has a clean title with relatively low mileage. (I will check tomorrow on exact) The ABS block has been removed, but not the wiring so that can be reinstalled fairly easily if you wish, but I would look at the car as more of a purpose built vehicle for racing since it is fully caged etc. It can, and has always been street driven, but the main focus has been the 1/4 mile with this car.
The car is Navy blue with a silver interior, I will post up some pics tomorrow when I get a chance. PM me if your interested in being one of the top ET guys.
For a ball park price, that I would have very clearly on paper for the purchaser with a parts list etc, I could put the car together with my engine and SC freshened from last season with a new Power glide/converter for roughly 50k complete, turn key with our 15" wheel kit and coil overs!!
Anyone interested in just the body, it can go for 10k, thats not bad for a clean titled car with the cage, seats, chute, batt cut off, line lock, etc etc completed already.

More pics. The pic of the right rear quarter is showing the only scratch I can find on the car, but it is not bad. I cant even see it in an up close pic, but there is one there.
I know I am biased since we did the cage, but I honestly feel this is the nicest 8.50 cage I have ever seen in a C5. We took a lot of time to get the top bars as high as possible, you cant even see it has a cage in the car unless you bend down and look in.
The battery cut off is in the right inner tail light
The mileage on the car is 27k.

Keith - that is my old car. You need to buy my new one!! (see the avatar)
Its ready to go and certified to 6.0 seconds. More importantly its built by the best shops out there to be SAFE running that quick.
Come up to ECS = take a look. We'll take it to the track and put you in it. If that doesn't sell it nothing will. Maybe you could make a guest appearance at the first pro-9.50 if we can slow it down that much. We might have to shut the boost off since the car is over 600 hp w/o boost.
I have always admired your C-4 going back to the first national in Aiken and I can't think of a better person I would like to own this car if I can't.
My job went on me again so the car is back in the market.
