      May Consider a Trade: I need cash to put towards a new house, but would still like to have a car to autocross. So, if you have a car in $5k range + cash, I'm all ears!

      Description
      For sale is a very well maintained and tastefully upgraded 1997 Corvette. I am the 2nd owner. Most of the car’s modifications, tuning, maintenance and setup were performed by SCCA, NASA and optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational champion Danny Popp at McCluskey Chevrolet in Cincinnati, OH (the car is currently in the Boston area). Mileage on the car is around ~145k (I am still driving it). Everything on the car functions as it should… I am very meticulous and like things to work!


      Modifications
      All upgrades were installed with a purpose; not necessarily for outright speed but rather to eliminate any weak points in the drivetrain or chassis. There are no flashy modifications here. Just solid, purposeful upgrades to make the car quick and bullet proof. Danny Popp is one the most respected Corvette racers and mechanics out there and systematically upgraded this car based his vast experience. He knows where to get the best bang for the buck when upgrading and applied that knowledge by improving this car in steps with parts he has experience with. I have receipts of all modifications and maintenance performed on the car since new.

      106, 102 – Power steering system flushed
      143, 111 – Coolant system flushed, diff fluid changed, transmission fluid changed, brake fluid flushed


      The Bad
      Nose of the car has lots of rock chips, typical for a low car with high mileage. (Pictured below)
      Both rocker panels have some minor damage to the fiberglass. (Pictured below)
      Climate control head unit sometimes does not turn on when car is started. Only happens occasionally, and will turn on within 5 minutes of driving when it does happen.

      Thanks,
      Matt :flag::flag:

      Still have the car, feel free to make an offer. Would make a great weekend cruiser, daily driver or track car.
