1988 Corvette Challenge Protofab Race Car Corvette Challenge number # 020 Vin 1G1YY2511 Miles 4829 miles Marked as the Newest and Richest race vehicle series with its Million Dollar reward, Chevrolet and it sponsors rolled out 50 Spec constructed Corvettes for the Mid-America Corvette Challenge. All 50 cars were built by Protofab Race Cars and sealed, (no mods enabled), to have a fair and competitive expert series. These automobiles were prepared to display room stock with the addition of complete roll cages and security equipment. The Corvette Challenge got a great deal of press protection throughout the year and followed numerous of the CART Champ Car series races. In fact I remember this vehicle on my first journey to Portland International Raceway throughout a CHAMP vehicle weekend. This vehicle was driven by Norm Daniels, which by the way, is the current owner of the car. I will get back to that The Corvette Challenge had lots of popular race motorists in it like Stu Hayner, Peter Cunningham, Lou Gigliotti, Mark Dismore, and Juan Manuel Fangio III, the colleague to this vehicle. These car were all prepared the same with the SBC Tuned Port Injected 350 CI that makes 270hp @ 4400 RPM with the series calibration. It was mated to a 4 Speed handbook with overdrive, 3.07 last ratio and Limited Slip differential. The extra products were SCCA approved Roll Cage, Lear racing seat, Bilstein shocks, Dymag Magnesium racing wheels, PBR brake pads, brake cooling systems, Fire Extinguisher, and steel brake lines. Tires run by the series were Goodyear Eagle P275/40ZR17 race tires. This specific automobile is extremely initial and just recently restored. Throughout its restoration, it got fresh paint, all brand-new original stickers as it was run, complete chassis restore and examination. It comes with all paperwork, Spare wheels and a Brand brand-new Corvette Challenge Spec engine that has actually never ever been run and in the crate. A very well put together book of documentation with pictures, full history, original tank sheet, initial California Pink Slip, and letters from the previous owners. This vehicle was run in a 4-car team owned by Gloy Motorsports that had an interesting line up. Standard Daniels, Juan Fongio III, grandson of the famous F1 driver, RK Smith, and Bruce Jenner (your other halves and children understand him now as a Kardashian). After the season it was sold to Rodgers Corvette Center, then to Douglass Johnson in 1995. Johnson attended the Challenge car reunions in 1995. Mr. Johnson contacted Norm Daniels in 2000 to let him understand that he had the automobile and still had it as he raced it during the series. Norm was informed that it was kept inside his home on display like a grand prize to Corvette racing history. Douglass stated that he would never offer it unless Norm wished to get back and go vintage racing with it. So in 2008 Norm called Douglass on an impulse and found it was still sitting in his museum and they struck a deal to bring it back to Portland to be prepared to run once more. It has actually been raced some in west coast vintage occasions and numerous Car shows. Everything works and it is fully prepared to go racing now. It currently has a Kirky racing seat in it, however it comes with the original Lear Challenge seat. This is a best vehicle for any Corvette lover or vintage racer. With it terrific history, spares plan, and flawless condition a real collector. Vintage racecars are some of the fastest appreciating cars to own, especially examples of this caliber. Kindly call with question, and evaluations are welcome Matt 07 or Josh 78.
