Default 2004 Torch Red Convertible - Supercharged - Stunning!

Call me crazy but I'm thinking it might be time to consider moving onto another project. Up for sale would be my 2004 Torch Red Convertible. All the details are below. This car is an incredible combination of power and show. This car won first place at the NCCC show at "Corvettes at Carlisle" in 2004. As you will see by the list below, all of the best parts available were used in building this car. No expense has been spared in using items such as HRE wheels, Vette Essentials interior, Caravaggio body componenets.

Its tough to put a value on a car that has been customized this much so I am willing to be somewhat flexible until I get a firm idea on what the market value may be. On top of the $54,000 sticker price I have invested approximately another $50,000 in upgrades.

I am going to start with an asking price of $54,900

As I said, I am 'somewhat' flexible but by no means am I willing to give this car away.

I will also be at the Cruise-In in Bowling Green on May 25-29 for anyone seriously interested.

Pictures can be found using the "My Corvette Photos" link on the left below my screen name. Some of those photos are a little out of date and do not show some of the newer mods (Specter Werkes lights, stereo, etc) I will try to upload more ASAP.

Default Is there any warranty on this car from GM?

Beautiful car - my question tho concerns warranty from GM. Is there any with all of the mods on the car?

Good luck in selling - beautiful car.

Thanks to everyone that has given compliments or expressed interest.

First of all, a few people have proposed trades of different natures. Unfortunately, I do not think that I am interested in any trades at this time. I 'might' be willing to do a partial trade on an early FRC or Z06 but that would be about it. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine wouldnt be too big of a deal because I would likely gut it anyways and build a racer. That is only a slight possibility, but something I might be willing to do.

Also, someone else asked about the GM warranty. To be perfectly honest with you, I dont KNOW what the status would be, but I would be willing to guess that most of the warranty is now void. Unless I had a problem with something totally unrelated to the mods that I have done I would guess they would deny just about anything. If I had a window motor go bad or something funky like that then they would have no way to fight it but obviously anything engine or drivetrain related would not be covered by GM. However, everything that was upgraded either has the manufacturers warranty or is covered by DynoTech Engineering with the upgrades that they performed. (i.e- the superchager is under warranty from Vortech, the radiator is under warranty from BeCool, the rear end is under warranty from DTE, etc, etc)

Feel free to ask any other questions that you may have

BUYERS BEWARE, anyone who buys this car, will need to spend countless hours attempting to remove the odor of urine, that I left on the seats this afternoon. In other words when Joe hits the go peddle, you will pi$$ yourself. Stupid fast, ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM.

Never felt anything like it in my life. At 80-90 you can nail it, and it pulls stronger then a stock car does from 25 miles an hour.

DTE is top notch. IMO if you are looking for a 100+k show/race car but can't afford it, here is one for 1/2 price.

I want to buy this car, and my wife won't let me.
