Well-started GTM #300 Build with 98% of all needed parts and tons of upgrades - $38K
Unfortunately interests and priorities change, and it just doesn't look like I am ever going to get back to finishing this build.
So... if you're in the market or thinking about building your own, I have already done a whole lot of the grunt work to get it to it's current state, which can be summarized as: steerable rolling chassis with engine & gearbox installed, this makes shipping and transport options easier.
The car is titled and licensed in WA as a KITV (Kit Vehicle)
The majority of donor parts are from a 2002 Z06 with 56K miles that ended up shiny side down.
LS6 Engine, Porsche G50/03 modded and upgraded by Erik with LSD, taller 5th gear and more.
Lots and lots of upgrades and interior customization items, see the attached for complete breakdown of what has been added, including my cost on everything. I have receipts and contact info for most all items purchased.
Some of the major work I've done outside of the standard assembly includes:
Bead blasting all Corvette suspension pieces to look like new
Blast, grind off Corvette logos, rebuild and powder coat Z06 brake calipers
Modify and install power tilt/telescoping steering column
Press out all rubber bushings and press in new PFADT poly bushings
De-grease and clean LS6 engine to look like new
Standard Assembly items completed:
All suspension installed, steering rack, column wheel, installed
Engine, Clutch and Gearbox installed
Pedal assembly with master cylinders, all brake and clutch hard lines run
Heat/AC unit installed and hoses attached (a real PITA that was)
About 50% of interior sheet metal panels installed.
Drivers seat on sliding track installed
Next on the list were: fuel tanks, radiator and coolant lines, passenger seat, 1st test fitting and of the main body
So at this point, much of how the finished product will look is up to the new owner, about the only think that wouldn't make sense to change is that orange is either the primary or a secondary color.
Besides body & paint expense, the only other parts I don't have that come to mind are: Fuel Pump & Filter, Fuel Tank crossover for aluminum tanks.
Asking $38,000
Besides what's on the list, I probably have another $1000 or so worth of items and tools that I purchased specifically for the build that will be included.
