I purchased this Vette recently from a gentleman in Indiana who restored this vette. I was looking for a vette to use as a daily driver and didn't realize how much extra he put in the engine until after I agreed to buy it. This vette can be driven on the road (I drove it from Indiana to Chattanooga, TN) but it was built for racing. It is EXTREMELY powerful and, quite frankly, is WAY too much car for me : ) The drivetrain had less than 200 miles when I bought it, and I drove it home and parked it. It has NEVER been driven hard, as it was still being broken in. I did 70 mph the whole way home. It is an awesome vette and I want it to go to someone who will enjoy it. A couple things you should know- the guy I bought this vette from did not have paperwork for the new engine. The previous owner is a contractor who built a new roof for his friend who was a machinist. His friend built, balanced and blueprinted the engine for him in exchange for the new roof. Since no $$ was exchanged there were receipts. However, I have had this vette inspected by 2 different mechanics I trust. BOTH mechanics verified that it was a new engine and transmission. Look at the pics and inspect it yourself, you will easily see it is all new! Both mechanics estimated the drive train alone to be worth over $10,000 (the first mechanic wanted me to let him pull the engine for his race car he was building), and they verified that the previous owner's claim of spending over $25,000 building the car was easily correct. As one said "he easily spent every bit of that $25,000 on this car". This vette hasn't been dyno'd yet (never been run hard) but the mechanic estimated the vette at it's current configuration to have between 500-600 HP. He also said that a nitrous system could easily be installed and the engine would have no trouble handling it (nitrous is not currently installed). Exterior is immaculate! Interior is in good condition, Dash is good, carpet a little faded but good, seats have a couple cracks but overall in good condition. See pics for details. Known Mechanical Problems- The A/C Compressor is new and appears to work, but no air is being moved. I suspect the blower is out and needs replaced. This is an easy fix. Also, the windshield washer pump does not work- another easy fix. The power cylinder for the brakes is acting up, and I have the car in the shop right now having the brakes repaired. This will not be an issue when you buy it. That's it! If you want a true American Muscle car, look no further! This car has DOUBLE the money into it than the listed price! Please come inspect it yourself, you won't be dissapointed! If you want a FAST vette this is it. Email me for additional pictures (criagslist only allowed me to post 4). Also, I will consider a trade for another C-3 corvette in similar condition and value. I still want a C-3 corvette, just something a little tamer than mine. Thank you!
