1981 SCCA Trans Am Wide Body Corvette

History

This is the ex-Jim Sanborn SCCA Trans-Am Corvette. Sanborn raced the car during the early 1980’s Trans-Am seasons.

For a short summary of the car’s history, from Trans-Am race car, to being saved from the junkyard, to being restored and raced at the 2022 Rolex Monterey Reunion, please see the Hagerty Article.

Since 2022, the Corvette has been professionally maintained and only run a couple of times. The owner has recently passed away, and this is the last of his collection of race cars to be sold.  All offers are welcome and will be considered.

Description

There are three race weekends on the Corvette’s 355 cubic inch, dry sump, small block Chevy with aluminum heads. The engine produces approximatley 650 h.p.

The Chevy’s power is driven through a Jerico transmission with a quick change rear differential.

This is a bargain entry for the highly popular Hurley Haywood Trophy IMSA GTP/GTO and Trans Am class at the Rolex. Race it the rest of the season with your local clubs across the U.S.

This is an estate sale, so the Corvette will be sold. Make an offer and get it now so you are ready for Monterey.
