FOR SALE: 1998 Corvette C5 Coupe: 116,9XX 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 and finish my C5Z06 targa project. 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 T1 straight-pipes (will throw in Z06 Ti pipes currently on the car for $400 extra)
* 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 (will most likely sent it to turn one)
* Possibly 2 rear wheel bearings needed (I'm hearing a tell-tale rear bearing hum)
* Transmission grinds 4th gear on hard shifts, much better after fluid swap
* 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. I may be getting a salvage mirror for it soon.
* The ABS light comes on every now and then asking you to service the car. It may be a bad wheel speed sensor but I have not delved into it yet, ABS is not needed for a track car anyway!
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, doesn't feel like the original '98 unit at all.
* The motor is awesome, perfect oil pressure, no odd noises, zero leaks. Very strong LS1.
*** The car will not have BSMs on it and will be sold with repro Z06 wheels with a new set of firestone wide-oval tires. I will update with new pics once I swap the wheels etc.
$14,999 OBO - with brand new wide ovals and T1 straight pipes
