Re: CHALLENGE CAR (provette67)
Documentation is key, but see attached picture.
They only came with these wheels, they all had a built in rollbar, and they all had cloth seats.
There are only 56 of them, all had Z51 suspension.

Re: CHALLENGE CAR (Patrick96LT4)
I AM THINKING THAT THIS CAR IS NOT WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE.HE SAYS THAT THE CAR WAS NEVER RACED AND THAT IS WHY IT IS NOT STICKERED ,CLAIMS TO HAVE 2 ENGINES,THE CAR DOES HAVE DYMAGS ON IT.THIS CAR IS A 1990 IF THAT MATTERS

Re: CHALLENGE CAR (provette67)
the 88/89 challenge cars were not ALL converted to "war paint" and I have seen one not wearing the "Challenge Dymags".
90 is a whole different story as the 88/89 cars got a motor built for the series, the 90 cars were "World Challenge cars" and did not include this item.

Re: CHALLENGE CAR - here is an un-converted one
for sale now... here is a quote from the ad... "Chevrolet built fifty-six identical Corvettes for the first year of the Corvette Challenge in 1988. Fifty of them were race prepared by Protofab in Wixom, Michigan to specifications established by Corvette Challenge series organizer Powell Motorsports. Six Corvette Challenge cars remained in their factory delivered trim, and it is believed these six Corvettes were used by Powell as development cars."

IF YOU DONT HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION ITS A CLONE.

If you are refering to my post, that car DOES have doc's as it recently came out of the MY Garage collection from Mid America Designs.
