I just purchased from Sean Roe his 1993 John Greenwood G383 Corvette that was totaled a while back in a run of the silver State Classic, and I also purchased his DRM 480 1993 Corvette that he was planning on using as the donor car to rebuild his old race car. Well, as life would have it, he is not going to be able to complete this project. He was diagnosed with a stage 4 brain tumor, (a gioplastomo blah blah blah), I cannot spell it, but it does not matter , it will kill him. Even with treatment, it looks like he might only be with us for 12 to 18 months, so I have decided I want to try and get his old car running and in decent enough shape to run it on a track day for him and maybe even restored to a level where it could be entered in a concours or two before we donate it to a museum.
What I am trying to find out is what exactly makes up the DRM 480 package, from what I have seen on this forum, it is a 383 motor rated at 480hp and torque, that would be about equal to what his race car had. It also has the 6 speed manual transmission, wilwood disc brakes, long tube headers, roll cage, harnesses, etc. But we are able to salvage the entire chassis of Sean's race car, so basically, the suspension, motor and transmission, wiring, brakes, fuel system, etc. is what we will use from the DRM car, the glass top is useless to us, I will need to find a fiberglass roof panel, we will make do with the windshield and the back glass, the doors will be helpful, most of the interior is already gone, but the dash parts should be of help. Any info somebody could give me on the car would be of great help. We have started a go fund me account for him, the money is totally going to the car rebuild, no profit taking here, and I have already put in over $12000.00 into the project, that is just a drop in the bucket. It is looking like it's going to be very expensive to re-create the G383 body work. We have most of the pieces, but they are literally pieces. If you would want help me fix ghis car up with either donation to the go fund me account, or advice, parts, if you are local to the JUacksonville area, labor.... let me know. I will be talking abourt all of this on the Podcast @stickerdicks garage. So any help be appreciated.
