Drivetrain: The engine is a fully rebuilt 454 cubic inch 4 bolt main big block with GM forged rods and crank, high performance pistons and cam, cast iron Vortec heads, Edelbrock intake, Quick Fuel carb, road racing oil pan, super rare Stahl side exhaust headers with shorty mufflers and Cal Custom valve covers from a McLaren Can-Am car. Transmission is a rare, fully rebuilt Borg Warner Power Brute Super T10 with Hurst Competition shifter and ram rod linkage. This was the over the counter race trans from GM with the nodular iron main case and high nickel gears. The rear is stock Corvette with upgraded 3.90 Richmond gear set. A Lakewood blow proof bellhousing and performance clutch mate the trans with the engine.
Suspension/Brakes: All suspension components were fully rebuilt using Vette Brakes slalom products including upgraded bushings, Bilstein shocks, racing springs (rear is composite), upper control arm cross shafts, sway bars, rear cross member reinforcement plates and adjustable strut rods. All other stock components were rebuilt/replaced including rod ends, bearings/races, upper/lower ball joints, rebuilt trailing arms and steering gear. The brake system includes AC Delco manual master cylinder, Vette Brakes stainless sleeved calipers, stainless braided flex lines, new hard lines and cryogenic slotted rotors.
Exterior: The body was soda blasted down to gel coat, applied 2 coats of hi build polyester primer, blocked and 2 additional coats of DTM primer/surfacer applied. It is ready for final guide coat/blocking and color coat. The advantage in this state is you can choose your own color and paint scheme. Additional custom race theme modifications include bumper delete front and rear, grill delete, trim delete, fixed Lexan Le Mans style headlights and rear window with safety straps, Dzus fastened rear access panel (Grand Sport style) and L88 style rear quarter panels. Wheels are Indy slots 15x8.5 front and 15x10 rear with custom machined hub centric rings, tires are Cooper Cobras 235/60 fronts and 295/50 rears.
Interior: As with the rest of the car, the interior was treated to a diet and the racing theme continues as all unnecessary components were removed although the stock dash and ‘63 door panels remain. Custom aluminum gauge and switch panels, Stewart Warner period gauges including giant center tach and reverse sweep speedometer were used. Aluminum short back racing buckets have been attached/integrated into the custom 6pt roll cage along with 5 point racing harnesses. An aluminum fuel tank, electric fuel pump, and Fram fuel filter are mounted behind the rear bulkhead and fully accessible via the removable “trunk” panel. New wiring, switches and lights have also been installed including, headlights (low and high), parking, turn signals, brake, horn, manual cooling fan, fuel pump and ignition.
Price: Opportunities to own a unique Corvette such as this do not come around often. With basket case projects and fully restored coupes selling where they are, the price of $75,000 for this car is completely justified. If one wishes to consider purchasing as a “roller” with no engine/trans that can be negotiated. The car is currently titled, registered, insured and street driven in California with less than 2000 miles since rebuild.

No offense, but I am not understand the multiple Craig's List FS postings. If you find a posting, like this one, shouldn't it be attached to a Forum member's WTB post that is looking for a similar car instead of a stand-alone FS post. I get that it brings to light a car for sale, but this would be like going to the ProTeam site and posting all of their available cars on here as individual FS posts. JMTC. Now all of the early-2000 members can yell at me.
I understand, Greg. But, I still have a valid point. We can agree to disagree. However, I have a feeling that you will have yet another all-bold comment. Keep 'em coming, appears people like the random finds. Have an awesome day.
You too my friend.
As others have mentioned here, don't you get tired of the endless WTB listings that are posted here with very few For Sale in return? I mean, it's great that the guys are looking for cars to buy, but who here should decide which listings should be made available to which members? Who will be the censor?
I belong to many car forums and they all include "Not mine, For Sale" listings which most seem to appreciate sharing. The only place I ever see complaints for someone offering a little free service like links to other cars for sale is right here on the C2 For Sale forum. The C3 For Sale forum seem to enjoy and welcome these listings and some pursue them. I only post private listings I find. I don't link to dealer ads. How do you know one of the cars I post a link to might not be exactly the car one of our members is looking for?
I've read all the whining and complaining about some of these craigslist ads posted here and realize some members must have a precise number of "clicks" allotted each day and my postings may be unnecessarily using them up, so in the interest of keeping things status quo, if the majority prefer I stop linking these ads, I'm happy to do so and remove the ads I've already posted.
It's no skin off my nose either way, I won't be offended. Please chime in.
Cheers, Greg
You are an original member, Greg...who am I to say anything. Shoot, you have forgotten more about Corvettes than could ever know. Keep doin' what you're doing, I am sure people like it. Wasn't trying to stir the pot, just voicing an opinion. Sally forth.
