Former Trans AM/GT1 road racer. Last raced in 1986. Fully restored, fresh and ready for the track. This car was built to the Trans AM rules and incorporated all of latest technology. Some of it borrowed from Group 7 IMSA racers at the time. Very competitive in Trans AM and SCCA National. The car was completely disassembled during the restoration. The motor was rebuilt and is fresh. Only the frame of a stock Corvette was used in the construction, as was required by the rules. It has a professionally designed tube spaceframe and it has a completely removable Greenwood body for easy maintenance.
