Carrot Town Garage are pleased to offer this incredible car:
So as you have gathered by the title and the pictures this is no ordinary 1974 Chevrolet Corvette...
Built by Jim Howser with the objective of building a race ready Corvette that looked like a nicely restored and updated Corvette C3 that could be road registered and driven on the road. The build took 5 years and was a ground up build to race car specification. Upon completion Jim realised his objective by winning the SCCA Solo Championship winning 10 out of the 13 races.
The build quality and technical specifications of this car are mind blowing and although the car has not been dyno'd in the UK it's clearly well in excess of 500bhp.
There are bills and receipts in a folder that is 3 inches thick and total well over $100k!
This car is all about the detail and here is just some of the spec:
GM ZZ3 High performance engine, Four bolt mains, Forged crank and Pistons, Pink Con Rods.
Edelbrock HiFlo Injection
ProCharger Supercharger with intercooler
Edelbrock Cam
MSD Ignition with stage 2 chip
AKE headers
5 Speed Tremec Manual Transmission with Hurst side mounted shifter
Steroid rack and pinion steering
Rear smart struts
VBR Front and rear suspension

Kirkby racing seats with RJS 5 point harnesses
Baffled fuel tank with pre tank fuel cooler return
Wilwood D84 six pot calipers (Wilwood were so impressed with the spec they used this cars for some of their media advertising campaigns)
The performance and handling of this car is truly mind blowing and the engineering that has gone into it is absolutely stunning. It really is a work of art.
