ha - already have a trip planned to go get the car in July, so that's my travel budget for trips to the U.S. in 2013 right there.
The car has been given a look over and signatures by many big names of the 1970 corvette engineering group - Gib Hufstaeder, Zora's right hand man, and international road race-winning L88 corvette Owens-Corning team member - included.
The original owner was disappointed the LS7 was cancelled (Gib has also provided a copy of the original GM bulletin officially cancelling the LS7 for the 'Vette) so he went about ordering parts to build his own - the car has an LS7 engine assembly, ZL1 solid cam , 2nd-design L88 aluminum heads, factory L88 hood with L88 air cleaner assembly, factory L88 dual-disc clutch, M22, L88 aluminum radiator assembly, full heavy-duty J56 brake package, and a rare set of OK Kustom headers and side pipes that were provided by GM engineering for L88/ZL1 road racers, they have GM part numbers stamped in them. It'a cool car - the guy even went so far as to have the pad gang-stamped with a CLZ suffix code, apply an LS7 12:1 console plate applied in the original position by the shifter (removing the original LS5 454 390 HP plate) and apply an LS7 emission sticker in the engine compartment. I expect it to be a beast.
I first noticed the car at MCACN in the barn finds and hidden gems section and tracked down the owner Werner Meier ( who has restored many original Corvette concept cars).
