Is it possible to do this? Running or not?

I would think yes. There are some non-runners that would fit the bill.
Also, consider a 1985 or so, with a blown tranny or something to that effect. Toss in the belief by many that the C4 ain't worth shit, you have the $1000.00 C4. I know they are out there. It wasn't that long ago that 1977-1981 C3s were worth the space they took up. They are not worth a lot more now, but they are keeping up with inflation for good, stock originals. |

you will need a set of Hoosier sprint car tires to do it right.

I could see it happening. Lots of L98s out there with stupid problems like bad head gaskets sitting in backyards. Post an ad on CL in your area.

I think I found a winner. It's local, it's an 86, it's a manual (clutch is frozen) and asking price is 1k.

Awesome. I just saw one yesterday - 85 that needs paint but has good body, runs, has a bunch of new parts, guy lost storage - $2,000.
Keep us posted on the project. Matthew |

Every once in a while one pops up in my area... usually 84's. People aren't as quick to give them away though these days. The word corvette is synonymous with $$.

For endurance racing, the brakes could be an issue, but I've never seen anyone try to get the most out of the stock brakes. I'm ashamed to say I didn't try either.
Hawk makes a few different race pads for the 84-87 C4. With those and some Motul you could probably hammer the thing for awhile. |

Looks like a claiming race. You can run a Viper if you want, and they can vote to destroy it.
Do they let any idiot race? |
