Like the C6 badge? She has 83k miles on her original body, and had the engine replaced about 10 years ago.

Features custom body mimicking that of the Greenwood Daytona,

She has had hours of work with NEW: Alternator, carb (Holley 600zinc), plugs, wires, brake lines, front brake calipers, front pads, fuel filter, fuel line, nose emblem, chrome brake cyl cover, vacuum lines, mats, heater core , Radiator (aluminum), radio, speakers w/amp, cap, rotor, clutch, exhaust (2.5" cat-less to a set of flowmasters), t-top bag, water neck, thermo, upper and lower hoses. The headers were just changed with summit tubular ones. New Sparco Torino 2 Racing Seats, carpeting, insulation and sound deadener, 4 pt sparco racing harness mounted to a sharkbar harness bar Has an alpine mp3/i-pod stereo system with an Infinity 4 channel powering the rear 6x9s, the sub and the front 4x6 speakers. New headers, custom flowmaster exhaust, custom alarm system, corvette mats, T-tops, aluminum sport wheels, power everything, and enough power to shred the rebuilt rear out in second gear.

Future plans include a vbandp.com complete suspension upgrade kit, which should run me about $2500. yeah sounds like a lot, but well worth the feeling when you take a turn going 80. Trans is getting replaced with a version of the Viper t-56 Tremec by keisler engineering. Conversion kit is a complete 6-spd crossover for $3400. Thats a steal considering what gas costs these days and the difference in gear ratios.
