Default Blown 408 Vette for sale - 1999 FRC - PIC's added

Hi,
Unfortunately mounting costs of living and very little time to enjoy my Corvette forces sale. This car was built by Andy at A&A Corvette and tuned by Charlie of course. It last made 819 RWHP 735 RWT about a month ago on pump gas and meth. This is the same car that was in December’s issue of Vette magazine, which featured Andy’s most recent Dyno Day. The article was titled “Horsepower Party”. My car was the highest-powered car there that day. I will be putting the car on Ebay next weekend unless I get some interest here in the Corvette community. I am going to entertain offers over $40,000. As you will see below I have well over $50,000 in the car not including the car it self. I do have all receipts and records of the car. The car is both Beauty and Beast. Turns heads every where I go and is the center of attention at the few shows I take it to which consist primarily of Ferrari’s, Porsche’s and Lambo’s. The car is in excellent mechanical condition and even gets decent gas mileage, high 20’s MPG cruising on the freeway. The car does have three known issues. It is hard to get into reverse. All forward gears no problem and shifts smoothly. It has been like this for a long time now. I have never taken the time to have Andy pull the trans. It also has an A/C leak. It also is starting to show some wear on the drivers seat. Otherwise flawless. I will try to have pic’s up including Dyno Graph by this weekend. If anyone is interested it is best to email me at fknott@flexfunding.net

Thanks for looking.

I think Monster is the right word

Only obvious things you might address is mileage on car/mods and tire/wheel specs & sizes... Assuming there are any tires left on the rear

And, PM sent.

TTT for what appears to be one well-built, no compromise, beast.

I wish that I didn't have so much tied up in my '69 Vette. This car is my dream. I will check with some of my friends before the "eBay day".

Thanks, It is very much streetable. It was my daily driver for a very long time even with the current set up. Only reason I got another car was to try to stay out of trouble! I also didn't want to accumulate too many miles on it. It definatley has a bit of lope to the idle but idles nicely at 900-950 rpm. Never ever gets hot. Even with the A/C on in traffic or after getting on it a bit. Cruises between 180 - 190 in traffic or after a bit of spirited driving it may see mid 190's but always comes right back down when cruising. The only thing I would say is not streetable about it is the obvious and severe traction problem. It will light the tires in fourth without very much effort.

Default Funding...

If any one interested needs financial help, I do Loans! I can do a NO COST Equity line of credit or a NO COST Refinance that may end up saving you money and be able to pull out the cash you need to buy this car!

Does this pass smog here in the grand state of C.A.R.B.?
What's the interior color?
I'm in No. Cal. and could easily fly down for a pick up.

I just had the car smogged and registered for 2007 last month. If sold within 90 days of that date it will not need a smog for 2 years. If it does need a smog at a later date it is no problem.

Interior is black. Check out the pic's...
