Another Corvette with vintage FIA papers

Also not for the small of wallet is this delightful C2 Corvette in a superb gold livery with big block power and FIA papers ready to race.  Its been on eBay as a classified ad at £135,000.



You get a fair package for your semi-detatched-house-in-the-Midlands money.  Its a 396 big block which has just has a fresh rebuild at a cost of some £10K, which is naturally backed with a Muncie 4 speed manual box.  The rear end s a 3.55 posi and it has factory dual pin discs all round.



Those lovely looking wheels are wrapped in proper Dunlop 700L rubber.  They certainly look the part.  The spec also includes chassis sand-blasted , seam welded, gusseted with period trick modifications .SW gauges. Fully working lighting with separated wiring looms for endurance races . Tinted quick lift Perspex door glass in lightened doors. Period-correct interior with side-bolstered 1965 seats and 1967 headrests Foam filled big tank inside car as factory original. Lightweight 1963 grille. Le Mans style Perspex headlight covers. Banana-bunch headers with side-exhausts and adjustable mufflers.


The interior looks very plush for a racer, the racey red is certainly attractive and you have to love the use of a Cadillac tail light as a shift light (I'm assuming thats what its for)


All in all a delightful package and one I would happily find a home for if I didn't have to sell my home to pay to buy it.
