1999 Corvette C5 one owner. Sent to Doug Rippie. In 2001. Complete conversion. Complete coil/over suspension. The best components available at that time. 14" AP Brakes on front, OEM Front brakes relocated to rear. Differential fan/cooler ....transmission fan/cooler.

Mallet wheels..2 identical sets. One with street tires,(by Goodrich T/Akd) the other with sticky R1s..(if my memory is correct) both sets of tires are 10 plus years old. But look nice as it's always in heated cooled garage.

The motor started life as a 6 liter truck motor. Yes it's iron, but it's stronger and only 85# more weight. 409 CI all best components here. Ceramic coated long tube headers...huge radiator...oil cooler. 450 hp to ground similar TQ. (525 @ crank) Run on the track @ 20 minutes gas & go. No overheat. Big fun.

Roll bar with 5 pt safety harness for driver & passenger. AC still function. Can drive anywhere although it's a bit harsh on rough pavement.

The hood is DRMs hood and is highly sought after. It works to remove heat and looks damn good doing it.

B&ab exhaust.

First time this car has been offered for sale. Anyone who's done hotrods before ...knows what kind of whipping I'm taking here. Thought I'd keep forever...other interest now, a clean hard top has a Kelly blue book at $14875 private sale. I'd do $17,500. I spent more than 17,5 on suspension and brakes! Title in hand. Many more pics available. I am in Knoxville TN Best email at skeenj@att.net or cell @ 865-310-5403.

I did 2 track days after conversion.l
The car still smells new inside. I don't understand but it does. Shows like a 2 year old car. Only paint work was to aftermarket DRM hood. Car is clean clean.
No trades. I need cash or bank check title in hand.
Sorry photos upside down, while I have had a panoramic view or two, she's never been upside down! Plenty more pics available that are right side up...sorry.

 

Here...

 

Thanks for flipping me over GT3 chuck!

 

do you have any more photos please ?

 

DRM has built three of my last vettes. Like serious builds(full drivetrain) and suspension, brakes etc. lucky for me they are in my neck of the woods. They were the only ones I trusted to touch my vettes. Nothing but quality from them.

Excellent car Tskeen, should sell quickly at that price!
