A vintage 1968 Corvette convertible race car. A turnkey ( actually, just push the button… ) race car. Its ready to go. ALL fluids have been changed and flushed. Over 120k invested with receipts. Fresh build, 1 test day only. (It’s a rocket !! ) Brand new dry sumped Gibbs SB2 motor, new Jericho transmission, Tilton 3 disc clutch, new 4:11 rear, amazing Nascar style roll cage, 3 way Halon fire suppression system, new seats and belts, cool shirt cooler and shirt, 3 sets of wheels and tires including a brand new set of Hoosier slicks. Lightweight Greenwood wide body, with fully removable body panels. Trans and diff coolers, full heim joint suspension, adjustable sway bars, huge radiator,Painless wiring system, Bilstein coil overs, Randy’s custom rear end, with Toms big axles and studs. Willwood pedal and Willwood 4 piston big brakes all around that haul this ballistic Corvette to a stop…… VERY quickly. The list goes on and on. No expense was spared in building this Vintage rocketship.


Ok here’s the COOL part. The car comes with TWO log books, and a clear title. The first log book dating back to 1972 !! The car raced at famous courses like Watkins Glen, Mid-Ohio and all the big tracks. Good finishing history. This is the real deal Vintage Corvette race car. Not for the timid, or weak of heart. In the right hands this car is a first place car, no excuses, it’s all there, and ready to go. The second log is current and has a 2013 tech inspection done to it. Put gas in it and go. This car can run in all the Vintage classes, GT1, SPO,V8 Stock car, or dozens of other race groups !!


Long list of spares, brakes, rotors,4 a arms, half shafts, u joints, bearings, plumbing hardware and hoses. Gauges and wiring, belts hoses, fuel pumps, and filters, manuals, set up sheets, and much more.You’ll be quite happy.


Don’t let life, or this opportunity pass you by.

Asking price: $65,000, OBO PRICE REDUCED FOR THE HOLIDAYS !! 49K STEALS IT !!

I urge you take make a realistic offer, Add it all up and it’s around 120k. My loss might be your lifelong dream come true. Check the price against some of the real quality pieces on the race site,
