Default What's it worth?

Hey Guys,

Johnny O'Connell is considering selling his C5 Convertible as we need to buy a car to use in our Corvette Camp. The car has been gone though and built by Katech and obviously has a sentimental value as it is the personal car of the winningest driver in the ALMS and Sebring... Not to mention a factory Corvette Racing driver.

I was thinking a personal signature delivery by Johnny O and something special like one of his helmets as well.

Just curious if anyone is interested?

Be a DRIVER. not a POLISHER!
Wumbah!

You haven't described the car. Tell us more about it, or is it just a stock C5 Vert?

I will get some pics when Johnny is ready to pull the trigger. Katech did the motor and it hauls ***, Johnny named her "Sweetness." He names all his cars, including the racecar.
Our website is corvette camp
We are going to re-construct the site, I hate it!

Kind of silly to ask "whats it worth" without even saying what year it is let alone what the mods are
