**SOLD** 1999 Corvette IP1 Race Car & Trailer
Aug 7th, 2016 at 11:00am
 
Short version: I live in Vancouver and store the car on the trailer in Mission.  The logistics behind my lack of personal storage and a garage where I can easily work on it is pushing me to look for a buyer.  It's a 1999 Corvette FRC and has nearly every IP legal upgrade save exhaust & tune, but the engine needs to be rebuilt.  My best time at Mission is 1:15.081, but that is far from the extent of the cars potential.  The trailer is a 2014 TNT 18' dovetail flat deck with very low miles.  I'd be looking for $17k for the package with all spares and Hoosier A7s & H20s on Z06 rims.  Logbooks for Time Attack and Race, 2016 annual Tech completed.

I'll add the long version with the details of all the safety equipment, upgrades, modifications, and spares along with more photos later.

Cheers,
Darwin

The car was my daily driver before I started using it for Time Attack for a couple years before converting it to a dedicated track car.  Here's what it's had done to it along the way:

Safety equipment:
- 8 pt custom fabricated roll cage 0.120" DOM designed to meet CACC, SCCA, and NASA specs.
- Electrical kill switch wired to main junction box

Steering:
- Delrin steering rack bushing
- Turn 1 rebuilt p/s steering rack (2016)
- Turn 1 new race spec p/s pump & pulley (2016)
- factory GM external p/s fluid cooler (Redline synthetic)

Engine:
- remote oil pressure sender
- Setrab external oil cooler
- Elite Engineering oil catch can
- DeWitts aluminum radiator
- Spal 15" electric fan, wired & programmed for high speed at lower temp threshold
- Callaway Honker cold air intake

Driveline:

- rebuilt torque tube (new bearings & couplers)
- transmission refreshed (tear down & inspection, new synchros)
- B&M short throw shifter
- Hardbar delrin shifter knob
- factory LSD with 3.42 gearing

Wheels & Tires:
- two sets of 18" x 10.5" C5 Z06 rims
- Hoosier 315/30ZR18 A7s, new this spring with 3 races on them
- Hoosier P305/30R18 H2Os, new this spring with one qualifying session on them
- Hoosier A6 scrubs

General Race Prep:
- hard wired transponder

Spares:

- used rear rotors (came with callipers)
- additional brake pads (came with callipers)
- Z51 springs, shocks, and sway bars (OEM)
- new poly bushings for Z51 sway bars

Needless to say, I've got a lot of time and money invested in it to get it this far.  With a fresh engine, headers/exhaust and a race tune it will be quite a formidable package.

Updated with spares, I have more stuff but those are the major pieces.

I'm heading out of town for a couple weeks, will check in when I'm back.  I'll start advertising with the ICSCC folks & the Corvette Forum at that time.  I wanted to give someone local the first opportunity.

Cheers,
Darwin

I'll be posting the car for sale elsewhere and outside the lower mainland as I've not had any offers - here are some additional pics, in case there is any latent interest.

Hi Jonathan,

Nice talking with you today - it still runs, but is making rod noise and needs to be rebuilt.

Cheers,
Darwin

Just wondering if you have any of the wheels/tires left?  I only ask because I see the new owner has taken it to sell at the Area27 auction here:  http://www.mackeeauctions.com/cars/1999-corvette-ip1-race-car-no-reserve/

So I'm thinking maybe they didn't take all the wheels/tires?  If not, shoot me a message!  Thanks!

I guess I haven't been on the board for a while...

Wow, I'm very surprised to see it was re-listed!  The auction was on Oct 29t, I wonder how it went?...

All the 18 x 10.5 wheels and race tires went with the car (with all the other spares & the trailer).  I do have two 17" Z06 front wheels left that didn't fit over the upgraded brakes, if you're interested.

Cheers,
Darwin
