Asking $14k firm

The time has come to sell the beast. This is a very unique car that will bring someone a lot of fun.. I'm selling because I'm taking my car hobby in a different direction.

This car has just over 60k miles on the chassis, and I have over $15k in receipts, including the following major components from summer 2011: (Car has done about 3000 miles since the build):

- Fully forged, built and internally balanced LT1 block with CNC'ed LT4 heads and intake. 9:1 CR, built for boost. Built by Grimes in Alpharetta, GA, this motor made 430 crank horsepower on the engine dyno at Grimes shop before I dropped it in the car.
- Brand New Vortech YSi supercharger, with a 3.25" pulley (8-Rib) spec'ed for 12 pounds of boost at 6500 RPM - this supercharger is capable of much more.
- recent dyno run (August 2013) made 560 at the wheels at 5400 RPM. The car is currently rev limited to 5500 rpm pending install of 80 pound injectors, but I havent had time to get the injectors and set up the tune on the dyno.
- Front Brembo brakes and calipers
- QA1 coilovers front and rear
- 4-point rollbar
- Dewitts Radiator
- ZF Doc short shifter

Paintwork is 7/10, car still has A/C. Idles fine in traffic, well behaved on a cruise, starts easily hot or cold. Car is definitely not a sleeper. Complete monster above 3k RPM

The 'bad'.

- Small tear in drivers seat side bolster
- Will not pass Georgia emissions with current tune / exhaust
- One of the fuel pumps buzzes, I think it's due to the way
it's mounted. I'll try and fix it before the car is sold.
- Running an 'open loop' tune due to cam reversion issues. If you need closed loop to pass smog this car is not for you
-

Also forgot to mention the following things:

- Car runs a 1996 cooling system including the single sided belt setup
- the alcohol injection system (2-stage, boost referenced)
- wideband gauge
- ability to datalog wideband (switch installed in center console to allow running of A/C when not datalogging)
- fuel pressure and boost gauges
- aeromotive afpr
- racetronix fuel pump harnesses

..plus probably tons of other stuff...

This set up is a monster. If you want to really enjoy power, this is the way to go. And it comes in a surprise package. Your driving down the road, you give it a little gas .... and .... SURPRISE!

Good luck with the sale. That's a lot of car for the money.

Thanks guys - me too, feels a little bit surreal. I'm in no real hurry to sell, so I can maybe 'vet' potential buyers (pun intended!)

All,

Just listed for sale "over there":

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4s-f ... en-convertible-650hp.html

Listed for $17,500, it will likely come with a new suspension setup (adjustable links etc) that I'll post separately.

I've upped the price since I am no longer in a hurry to sell, plus summer is coming. I'll still cut the Guru's a break at $15,500 firm.

Andy

Guru's - I'm not having any hits or interest in my car :-(

I'm open to constructive criticism on pricing or the way I've advertised it.

My only fear, to those that don't know you or your skill sets, that the car may scare people off for being so modified.

And those that get it, can't afford it.

you may want to try bringatrailer.com, or perhaps Vettehound.com as other ways to market.

If brilliant ideas pop, I will share.

I think highly modified cars are hard to sell...a basic cam/heads is one thing, but big mods mean you need to either have very good mechanical skills to maintain/repair it or have big bucks to pay someone.

When it comes to a modified car, you have to find the "right" buyer.

SOLD!

Sold to a local guy- he's very familiar with Chevy products and wanted a sweet ride to cruise to car shows and generally terrorize local ricers.
