1971 Corvette Hot Rod Build

[Arrowsmith]

I’ve mentioned this to a couple of folks from the forum, and I wasn’t 100% sure about this, but I am now, so here goes:

I really (Really) miss my old Nova Plain Jane. I have serious buyer’s remorse. I would like to build version 2.0 based upon a first gen Camaro. Unfortunately, I don’t have the budget to build two cars at once. Old Corvettes like this are limited with regard to how much power you can feed them and still keep the IRS (even an upgraded one like this car has) and keep them looking more or less stock or Day 2. There are other things that get in the way of producing big power (header choice, exhaust sizing, cooling, etc.). Yes, I could cut it up to handle big power but it wouldn’t be much fun to drive. So…. I’ve decided to put my Corvette up for sale as soon as it’s complete or as a very comprehensive roller (basically, less engine and select components). I’d prefer to sell it sooner as a nearly complete roller.

Thus far I have gone through virtually every piece of the car and fix (or I’m in the process of fixing) any of the mistakes on the car. The car itself is incredible (just look at the pix!). I believe it could very well be one of the nicest C3’s on the planet. No secret though, the build cost has been steep. Bottom line: It will be (very) expensive to buy but it will be a super nice, fun car.

So, if you or someone you know is interested, please send me a PM. And by the way, I’ll keep posting progress and build info on this page. Thank you. Wayne
