1997 C5 Corvette. Torch red (what else?) with black interior. Clean title in hand. Inspected until May 2016. Much admired Corvette LS1 hot rod. Meticulous owner and car enthusiast. Great condition, tastefully modified. Automatic transmission, cruise control, air conditioning. Owned for over 10 years by adult car enthusiast, always stored in a heated/air conditioned garaged and well maintained. You will be able to tell that it's been very well taken car of just by looking at it. This car currently has only 80,000 miles and needs nothing. Always used Mobil 1 synthetic in the engine and Royal Purple synthetic in the transmission. Hood is a functional heat extractor cowl hood with black stripes. Everything works and looks great. All modifications were done at 60,000 miles and have all receipts. Oil and filter just changed May 12, 2015. Mobil 1 synthetic 5W30.

Ice cold air. No leaks, rattles, or squeaks. When work was done I replaced parts that were OK such as air conditioning compressor, starter, and pulleys/belts just because they were easily accessible while work was being done. Still have many of the stock parts such as the cam and pushrods, air cleaner assembly, and 2.73 differential and will be included in sale.

The entire car has been professionally color sanded, buffed and polished. The paint really shines.

Looking for an outright sale at $15,500 or best (offers) or willing to trade for a Harley XR1000 plus cash. Possibly trade towards older muscle car or truck or any brand vintage bike. The older the better. Try me, the worst I can say is no. Just acquired a mint, original 454SS pickup. Need the garage space for the new truck so I would prefer an outright sale but still love the older muscle cars. Motivated seller, other priorities now. Feedback appreciated on price. I think I have more than the asking price in modifications and upgrades but don't be afraid to make an offer. Will listen to all offers. I'm very realistic.

GLWS!

Beautiful car ! Can you share the RWHP dyno # ? Where does the exhaust exit when cut offs are not in use ?

Rhode Warrior

Dont have the dyno sheet here now. 400 and change. Made some changes since then.

The exhaust from the mufflers dump under the car when the cut outs are closed. When they're open, they dump straight out the back through the tips.

Bump for pricing feedback. Don't be shy. I can take it.

I think the asking price is very fair considering the work that went into the car. GLWS
