the guy i purchased it from bought it in 2004 from the little old lady who won it and only put about 500 miles on it the first year she did not like driveing it and would not let anyone else drive, or even test drive it when selling it, the only way she let him drive it is she knew him

Some funny replies so far. For me, it's mine, owned free and clear.
Now that monsoon is coming to an end in AZ, there's a good chance I might even get to enjoy it for a while before winter...

It was unique because I modded it the way I wanted to. It now has a new owner, but here are some pics of what I had done to it over the years.

WOW.......Although my car is n where near as "unique" as Z06-Jim's, it is unique to me.

I have a DIY engine compatment.....



I will have custom interior when I get the car back......



Why the car is gone.......
1. long tubes
2. LS6 intake P/P
3. P/P throttle body
4. Stage II heads,
5. Largest cam that can be installed with out fly cutting the pistons.
6. 3.42 gears...............

That is enough

BTW
1 of 245 made is unique & also check my sig.........
