Description:

Check out this 1988 Chevrolet Corvette just listed for sale by Auto Buyers Market. This vehicle is located in Largo at Toy Store. This is a 1988 Chevrolet Corvette. 1988 CORVETTE CHALLENGE RACE CAR #2. From 1985 to 1987 Corvette dominated the SS class of the SCCA Showroom Stock Endurance Championship. Its record was 19-0. In fact; in 1987 Chevy won the Manufacturers Championship by a modest 81-7 margin. SCCA mercifully ended this brutal massacre by creating an entirely new class for this car. What else do you do with a car in a class by itself? The Corvette Challenge Series was born. In 1988 the #2 car was driven by Juan Manuel Fangio II; nephew of Juan Manuel Fangio of Argentina; five time Formula One world driving champion. In the 1988 ten race series; the #2 car; campaigned by Tom Gloy Motorsports; won three races and finished second overall in the series. No other car in the series won as many races. The car was purchased by Jim Crist; a Corvette dealer from Largo; Fl.; after the inaugural race series. Jim campaigned the car in SCCA and drove it to three Regional Championships. The car comes as raced in SCCA with many spare parts and accessories. During the 1988 Corvette Challenge; SCCA took the top ten cars after the first four races and replaced the original sealed engines with replacement motors to insure that the original engines had not been tampered with. We have the original sealed engine on an engine stand with the replacement engine still in the car. There are promotional materials such as GoodYear tire advertising posters; mounted and framed; that come with the vehicle as well as various magazine articles. The original SCCA log book # 88 131 comes with the car and has been signed by Fangio. The first factory built Corvette race car is offered for the first time at $49;000. Will consider interesting Corvette or performance boat as possible trade. OPEN Mon-Sat; Sun. by Appointment; Financing available.

Model info:

The Chevy Corvette is one of the most popular sports cars built and also known as the Vette; a two-door, two-passenger luxury sports car manufactured and marketed by Chevrolet since 1953. The first model was named after a type of small, maneuverable warship called a corvette. The Vette has become an American icon of success and synonymous with freedom and adventure and ranks at the top of the competitive luxury sports car class. Competitors are vehicles such as the Porsche, Audi R8, BMW i8, McLaren, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Bugatti, and Maserati. The Stingray is more performance oriented then the base model and much faster but although not a muscle car by definition, the Corvette uses muscle car powertrains and has represented American performance for almost fifty years. There are currently significant delays in the delivery of new Corvettes. In December 2022, General Motors temporarily halted production of the Vette due to supply chain issues. GM has warned that there could be further delays in the delivery of Corvettes in the coming months due to ongoing supply chain issues.
