1973 Chevrolet Corvette Racecar
Final Bid: $ 14,300.00 - Russo & Steele Auction Scottsdale 2008
This is a beautifully purpose built 1973 corvette convertible. Several modifications have been made to suit my driving style and increase the reliability and level of performance. In 2003, the entire motor was rebuilt with brand new heavy-duty parts. The car is a Group III NCCC car and record holder at Mid America Motorplex in Iowa during a NCCC high-speed event. The car has predominately been used as an autocross car participating in both low and high-speed events. The motor has very minimal wear since being rebuilt in 2003 as I have had no time to race due to my work schedule. To prepare the car for road racing, several upgrades were installed including new VBP severe duty stainless steel calipers with heat insulators, front ducting for the brakes and fresh fluid throughout including Motul high temp racing brake fluid and hawk blue racing brake pads.
The car needs nothing but a good home and driver. The previous owner went to great lengths to set this car up properly to ensure it is perfectly balanced. He had it up to 154 mph at Texas Motor Speedway. It is the best handling and nicest looking racecar I have ever owned. It has the full interior and a removable hardtop.
The engine includes: Rebuilt in 2003 has 400 horsepower, 1969 350 Chevrolet small block bored ".030" over with 4 bolt mains, When rebuilt, the following was done to the block, Balanced, Square Decked, Line bore/hone, and Bore/hone cylinders with plate.
