Default Blown 408 Vette for sale

Hi,
I am posting this in FI as I have had a lot of inquiries since mentioning it in a post.

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.

Wow Lance your selling your car??? I will vouch for your car as being an incredible machine..at least the couple of times I've seen it. The F1R on a 408 is a monster.

Good luck selling it...that is a great price for what you have into it.

Thanks Kevin. I am really torn about selling it. I built it to spend a lot of time at the drag strip and it turns out I have only gone once in the last two years. The car spends most of it's time sitting in the garage, and with two other cars I get more use out of and a mountain of debt right now I think it is the smartest thing for me right now. I drove it the other day it it definatley makes me think twice.
