Default FS: 99 FRC Torch Red

Hello,
I am selling my Torch red 99 FRC. I would like to buy a Vert. Anyway here are some of the details. I must start by saying my Vette is not a collectors item. It has been used and driven like a Vette should. My vette has been modded. I am stating this because some people do not like modded Vettes. I must say all my mods were done correctly. I did have a supercharger setup on it. It has been sold and the Vette was put back to what I call stock with a few bolt on mods. Ok with having been up front with you on the car here are the details.

Edit added interior pics on page 2 of thread



99 FRC w/48,000 miles
Torch red
6 speed manual
Factory HUD
Power driver seat
A/C w/manual controls
Pwr windows/locks
2 Key fobs 1 key
Factory cassette, or Pioneer cd player. Non Bose
Factory fog lights

Here are the mods:

B&M ripper shifter
Delrin shifter handle
Real Hella HID lighting system
Z06 screens
Z06 brake ducts
Vararam VR2 cold air system (new)
Vararam Velocity stack
LS6 Cartek ported intake
Magnaflow Magnapacks cat back/ cats still installed
RK sport long tube headers/ Flanged for easy removal
Spec Stage 5 clutch
Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel
Ls6 master/slave upgrades
CCW Classic track wheels Front 17x10 Rear 17x11
New street tires all the way around.


The CCWs are 3 piece wheels that can be taken apart to replace the outer lip. I did bend 2 of the lips, not noticiable unless I tell you. In anything I have sold I always want to be honest and open so if someone drives down here they know what they are looking at. Most people would not point out these details. I bought this car off the a forum member. When I received I noticed a lot of imperfections on the car. It kind of through me because I had already paid for it and it was mine. I knew I was buying a used Vette. I just wished that all the details were explained instead of me getting surprised. If anyone is interested and wants to talk more please call me. 407-259-1050
email me at lotus000@gmail.com

Asking 20,800


Thanks,

Mike

Wow... nice car and locally too! I haven't seen your car around. I live in Winter Park. Not a ton of FRC's around here. I wish it was available a lil over a year ago when I bought my FRC... Looks good! Good Luck on the sale!

Please everyone call me on my cell 407-259-1050. I have been getting so many emails. I will be taking some nice pics of my interior this weekend. I work long hours on the road so it is hard for me to keep up with these emails. A phone call is better for me. When I take the pics I will post them on here for everyone to see.

Ok lots of questions regarding the condition of the car. The car is used and I think I am asking a very fair price because it is a used car. I have a lot of good mods on it that will help anyone build a fast vette. As you can see the price is low just to sell so I can buy a vert. If someone has a Vert that they want to trade I am open to that offer.

The car has a clean title. I bought the car from a member in Texas. I then had it delivered to Buffalo Ny where I used to live. The car has never seen snow if thats what your thinking. Due to my job I moved from Buffalo to Orlando Florida (Winter Park). The car needs a good buff and wax. It shines, but under White light like in a car show you will see clearcote scratches and swirls. It has original factory paint from dealer. The hood has a slight hairline crack that you can not see unless you look for it about 1/2" long. I am missing the hood liner due to my belt coming off the supercharger when I first installed it. The tires are in great condition, new in the rear and fronts are excellent. I did the brakes and cross drilled rotors last summer season. painted calipers red. The ccws are not show either they need to be polished. The pictures are what they look like now. They can be a mirror finish if you polish them. The interior is black with Z06 mod red door pannels.

Everything else is factory, nothing to see very clean. Leather is in great condtion. I lexol the leather every car wash. Varam system is new. I have red FRCs on it now, but also have the stock balck ones. I do not have the stock door pannels, or any stock wheels and other stock parts.


You are welcome to search my posts for all the parts I sold off the car to buy other mods. This should not make a differnence, but I have been asked these questions. I have many reciepts. Like I said this is not a show car, but a vette that you can drive that is very respectable. I was going to chop the top and do the vert conversion, but it is a pain in the Ars, and not worth it. I am looking for a 6 speed vert trade, or cash for my Vette. My price is pretty firm.

Thanks for your interest.

No I do not. I bought the car this way. I know the right front headlight assembly and front bumper cover were replaced.
