Hello everyone, if you don"t know me from the past things have changed in my life and it has come the time to sell the Z51 Cormaro. If you put your car on the road and started to use it like you built for you will understand how a car never really gets totally finished. keeping up with the maintenance ,the broken parts and the ones that just wear out can consume all the funds for upgrades. i have many parts that need to be put on someday but the cormaro seems to always be able to run without them. i no longer have the life to keep it all going like the car deserves. I now have stage 5 kidney disease and am on dialysis 3 times a week. no real energy to get things done anymore and I could use the money more then the car. i have many extra and spare parts along with a 358 18 degreee head dry sump motor ready to go in that is engineered just for the abilities of the car, I have made so many uprades to the car that it has become easier to work on and is well sorted out.
I am going to be placing an add in the for sale section soon. you can find videos and info by searching google for " Jims great CORMARO" It has not been updated for a very long time, or going to youtube at my channel "mastermechanic1967" lots a vidoes of the good old days for me. Check things out and let me know if you might be interested in continuing the journey of the Z51 Cormaro !

May the horsepower be with you

Hi Jim, I'm sorry to hear about your health. I'm a little ways south, let me know if you need help with things. I thought I met you at Joliet for the Heidt's event a long time ago.

For those that don't know. Jim has been around and on the site for about 25 years.

Member number are now in the 60,000's and Jim is 81. Having been around that long I think that it's a good bet that you can be comfortable buying a car from him.
