1968 Corvette Vintage Race Car

History

The Corvette was most recently raced in 2021, and 2022 at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix (“PVGP”), the current owner’s most local event.

The car was prepared, entered, and set to race, including new tires, for the 2023 PVGP. Unfortunately the driver injured his shoulder the week before the event and was unable to race. He has since retired from the sport. The Corvette remains in that race-prepared condition, and has been periodically run since to remain in fully operational condition.

Description

The paint is good all around but there are a couple areas with small blemishes. It is a race car with the patina of a race car, not a show car.  

The brakes are Wilwood – 6 puck front, and 4 puck rear. It has a cockpit adjustable brake bias.  with dual readouts on bias settings (see photos)

The 350 cubic inch engine was built by RCS in Pittsburgh. It has a Dart Chevy block, steel forged crank, forged racing pistons, H beam rods, and more. It was completed 7/12/21. The engine dynoed at 543.7 h.p. and 439 lbs. of torque. The dyno sheet can be seen in the photos below. The cost was $25,004.81. A complete parts list is available. There are under three hours on the engine since. 

The gearbox – is a proper Corvette 4 speed Muncie “Rockcrusher” transmission.

All work other than the engine build has been done by Fowler Automotive Street and Track. All receipts will be included. 

The Corvette has a full complement of gauges, a Proform shift light, a fuel cell and a fire system. The belts expired in 2024 and will need to be replaced. The tires are new Proxes R889R.

Subtracting out what has already been spent on the engine alone, $25,000, you are getting this classic 1968 C3 Corvette vintage racing car for virtually free. You can race it on the track with SVRA, VSCDA, and other sanctioning bodies. You can use it for HPDE, or track practice days. You can also tame it for high performance street use, including road rallies, cars & coffee, etc. 

The Corvette is located in the Pittsburgh area. It comes with both a VSCDA log book, and a title.  At this price it is a great buy no matter what your plans for it, road and/or track.
