NO TRADES!

 

FOR SALE: 1998 Corvette C5 Coupe: 117,XXX miles

 

I purchsed this car with the intention of building into a NASA ST2 track car, but have decided to sell it and put the money into my Panoz to bring it up to speed for ST2 racing. The car is a perfect trackday/HPDE car with all the right stuff (over $5000 in mods allready). It would also be ideal for someone looking to race the car, specifically something like NASAs ST2 class. All the car would need is a proper roll cage from someone like Phoenix Performance. The car is street legal with a current VA inspection good through 6/09.

 

Modifications

* DRM coilovers

* T1 swaybars w/ heim-joint endlinks and poly bar bushings

* DRM 4-point chassis bar (they can't call it a rollbar) welded in

* 1 DRM brake cooling duct (driver's side, passenger is missing)

* Full interior, customized to accept rollbar

* Corbeau racing seats w/ Crowe 5-pt camlock harnesses

* Hardbar Derlin shift knob (stock shifter)

* Cattless x-pipe with stock mufflers (T1-style straight pipes catback come with the car)

* K&N CAI w/ MAF screen removed

* Sparco racing wheel with quick release hub

* Airbag delete

* SS caliper pistons w/ SS brake lines

* PFC brake pads (unsure of compound, very dusty and squeel when cold)

 

Maintenance Completed

* Amsoil 5w40 oil fresh change

* Amsoil Synthetic Dextron III trans fluid

* Amsoil 75w110 severe duty gear oil

* Car has had a new PS pump sometime in it's life (looks fresh)

 

Maintenance Needed/Issues

* Steering rack rebuild needed, one boot is cut and it has a slow leak

* Transmission grinds 4th gear on pwer shifts, much better after fluid swap. Not an issue for roada racing style shifting. Seeps some fluid where the trans meets the rear.

* Vehicle was hit in right front after going off turn 6 at VIR. Repaired by local shop on frame rack, car drives perfectly straight w/o issue. Some of the body panels could use better re-allignment, but the chassis is sound (I used to be an insurance adjuster and have inspected the repairs).

* The driver's side mirror doesn't work and is epoxied in place.

* The ABS light comes on every now and then asking you to service the car... does not affect drivability

* Left side 1/2 shaft cover seeps... common C5 issue, easy repair w/ a $12 seal.

 

Observations etc.

*The car supposedly has a new clutch in it however the previous owner is unsure which kind, may be a spec. The clutch holds perfectly and doesn't slip under any conditions.

 

* The motor is awesome, perfect oil pressure, no odd noises, zero leaks. Very strong LS1.

 

* The wheels are Z06 repros in OEM sizes. The tires are brand new full tread firestone wideovals.

 

Price Drop $12,999 - with brand new wide ovals, T1 straight pipes, and stock coupe catback

Wow...that's a damn nice machine. Still street legal?

 

Edit: Nevermind, I see that it is. Yeah you can expect a visit if this hasn't sold by time I come back.

 

....and I'm a Ford guy.
