-Car is a blast to drive and drives anywhere...very reliable and meticulously maintained. No short cuts. Mobil 1 or Royal Purple oil only. I just freshened the top end just because the motor is 15 years old and it was the right thing to do and my intention was to keep the car, but just don't have the time to drive the damn thing!
-Tune was recently gone through by Jeremy Formato to tweak A/F and shift points

-I'm sure I'm leaving some stuff out...Asking $12,000...I'll try to get pix up. Those who know me and the car know what shape it's in and how I keep my stuff...This could be the end of an era for me but beginning of someone to own a cool LT1 N/A car...Thanks..


MAKE AN OFFER...UNFORTUNATELY THE CRAP ECONOMY MAKES IT NECESSARY TO SELL...THANKS ALL FOR LOOKING....--Alan

 

This is an extremely clean car and Alan is a stand up guy! TTT for ya...

 

Thanks a lot Bret! And FWIW I have all documentation from the original Lingenfelter 383 440hp package installation as well as the original window sticker. I also have the videos from Motorweek and BFG featuring the car from 1996.

The Lingenfelter motor has been an anvil for 15 years. I enlisted Joe Overton and Eric Bradby only to help me go faster back in 2005 to try to keep up with the LS crowd! Joe spec'd a "small and nasty" cam to replace the LPE 211/219 cam that came with the package, and Eric Bradby found a bit more air in the already killer LPE ported heads. The motor has never failed me and has been dead nuts reliable.

I realize that my asking price might be a bit high so reasonable offers will be considered. I'd rather show interested buyers the car in person and I'll be glad to pm those folks my cell phone and address.

Thanks again for looking...

--Alan

 

TTT for a really nice, fast, fun car!

--Alan

 

Great seller here guys!

 

Thanks Andrew! Glad you like the wheels...Hopefully some die hard LT1 fan will buy the car. I'm looking ahead to getting my dad's 2003 Lingenfelter 383 Corvette in the next few years and making a beast out of that. Either that or I've always wanted a Mercedes E55 AMG...

--Alan

 

Bump and good luck.

 

Alan, good luck with the sale. I don't think your car is over priced, I know what it takes to go fast and still be reliable and it ain't cheap. It sounds like you have some very good parts in that car and will make some LT lover very happy.


Good luck
Jeff

 

You know this guy too Alan?

Good luck with your sale

 

i have always admired this car and owner/enthusiest ever since i joined here a few years back. this car has the best of the best of everything and runs great and from what i have seen the owner is knowledgable and respectful.

if i had the money and i was in the market i'd buy this car in a heartbeat

 

Thanks you guys very much....Its kinda nice to know that my car and I are appreciated around here...This reaffirms what I've said all along which is that car people are good people...And Jeff your 10.96 run is exactly what I hope to run if I get this thing back to the track...I already run that mph, just hoping the converter, tire, and rear bar can shave .1 off my 60'...

--Alan

 

Alan, I know your car has it in it, my car went 10.95 at the LTX shootout @ 120 mph I could not believe it went 10's @ 120 and the da was close to 2000 so what are you waiting for go get your 10 slip.

Again good luck Alan.

 

I've always wanted a Mercedes E55 AMG...



^^^^^
I thought we were doing ok with the OT at work, you guys must be hitting the county hard!lol

Good luck with the sale, I will spread the word on your car.

 

Hey thanks! Good seeing you yesterday...12 hours O/T surely won't hurt the pusuit of the AMG!!! See ya in the hood!

--Alan

 

TTT...It'd be hard to duplicate this car for twice the money...

--Alan

 

Sunday "Go Ravens" Bump!

--Alan

 

nooooooooo...don't do it

 

Here's a few undercar pix I just took. Highlights the condition of the car underneath..Anyone can show photos topside! The last one is a view of the side exit TDs...

 

Man, I'm shocked to see your selling that car. That car is the baddest LT1 Formula I've ever seen. The mods on your car were done to perfection. Wish you best of luck in selling it.

 

Nice car, I'll keep an eye on the thread and see how things play out after xmas
