(Not really a dedicated race car, but built for track day/auto-x so I hope this cross post is ok)

New year, new project. I sometimes think I enjoy building more than driving them when I'm done.

Good rust free frame and birdcage.

SA Van Steel (QA1) shocks
13 in Wilwood front and rear 6piston/4piston

Tremec TKO-500

Excellent paint Not 100% perfect as a show car but very very nice.
Clean driver undercarriage.

It was built with the intention of being a very fast track to that could reliably and comfortably be driven to and from the track...Well, as comfortable as a 50+ year old Corvette can be. Fast forward to today.. I'll probably never track it again. It's fun, fast and reliable. Turns very well. Stops hard. Pulls hard to 6500 easily. Gets lots of attention everywhere.

I'd like to get around $59,000 for it. (CF discount) I would consider partial trades for something interesting...No bikes, jet ski's or boats(except a Floyd Skiff 8 wt)

I have almost 100 photos available.

Thanks Tommy, BTW, if I were to ever repaint, I'd be Atomic Orange instead of Daytona Sunset. !!!

Thats a beautiful car! Looks naked w/o the side pipes.

jimco84x

thank you and true on the side pipes. It was a tough call but the throttle response and mid range performance gains were astounding. Being able to put a properly side X-pipe with correct headers made a huge difference. The sounds is like a completely different engine also. It went from sounding like a big lazy truck motor to a very crisp, angry/nasty snarl. The scavenging through the X pipe is very obvious.

thank you again!!

Awesome car, I bet it's a blast around sebring!

Love the color. Never understood why they didnt sell that many trans ams/camaros that color and why it was only on c6's for a year or two.

Thanks Stephen. I'm redoing an old school Jeep Cherokee Chief and considering the same color with the Black Chief stripes. It's really grown on me.
