1999 Twin Turbo Nassau Blue Corvette Coupe

$27,500

1999 Nassau Blue Coupe

I'm the second owner, took over the car with 53,115 miles. Car now has 68,525 on it and I've owned it since May 4, 2006.
Fully optioned save for the HUD which was retrofitted in on the stock cluster as it had the proper connector.
EVERY receipt and record since my purchase will be included, organized in a binder along with any instruction manuals and dyno sheets/track slips.
Original window sticker and dealer brochure are also included.
Extra's are a satin indoor cover with the C5 Emblem on the nose, extra stock shifter and ****, ash tray (switch panel is installed), jacking puck, extra ported TB housing, 3 volume Factory Service Manual, and anything else I have for it.
Car was seen in GM High Tech Performance's "Street Heat" section in the Dec 08 issue.
Current power output is 761 RWHP, 760 RWTQ and it's completely docile and driveable, A/C works, and still gets mid to upper 20's on the highway.

This is NOT a track car. This is a purpose built, wonderfully smooth and powerful street car. DO NOT expect to go to the track and turn a fast time with it. The suspension is not set up for launching at all. Sure it'll trap like crazy, but it won't launch hard without some suspension work and stickier tires. What it WILL do is very smoothly and quietly get you anywhere you want to go. I would not hesitate to get in and drive anywhere in the car. It truly drives like stock, is quiet, and is a hell of a sleeper.

Performance Enhancing Mods:
APS Twin Turbo system, modified for air filters to be directly on the turbo's
Boost set at 14 PSI via a Joe P Pro Z Manual Boost Controller
Texas-Speed forged LS3 377 CID shortblock, installed less than 2k miles ago *9.25:1 SCR as set up*
Patriot Stage 2.5 CNC Ported 317 heads
Lingenfelter GT2-3 Camshaft
Cometic head gaskets
LS2 Timing Chain
LS6 Intake Manifold
Ported stock TB
Mototron 60# Fuel Injectors
97-98 Fuel System Conversion
Lonnies Double Pumper in-tank fuel pump assembly
Alky Control Methanol Injection System
Powerbond Underdrive Pulley // ARP crank pulley bolt
Corsa Indy Exhaust w/Daytona Tips (WCC only offered exhaust)
PFADT Motor Mounts
Hurst shifter
Turbowerx EXA Scavenge pump for turbo system, and upgraded scavenge lines from the stock APS crap.
1st Gen Lingenfelter Stutter Box (2 Step) installed, but not hooked up currently. One of their first ones sold.
ARP Head Studs
ARP Camshaft Bolts
ARP Flywheel Bolts
Textralia OZ-700 Z-Grip Clutch with approx 6K miles, holds fine.
F45 selective ride control delete in lieu of Bilstein Sport Shocks
Lowered on stock bolts
Elite Engineering Thermal Abs tunnel plate
Tires are Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's up front and 305/35-18 Nitto Drag Radials in the rear, PLENTY of life left on all tires.
Allignment was last done by Phoenix Performance in Phoenixville PA.
Line Lock designed and installed by me that kicked off my line lock business.

Appearance and misc Mods:
15% tint on sides and back
Corvette Enhancements Blackouts
Gloss black vinyl wrapped roof and Halo. Looks decent, but not perfect. Easily removable if desired.
18x9.5 and 18x10.5 machined face // black inset ZO6 wheels (clearcoat starting to chip some, not terrible, but not perfect either).
DIY rear bumper lower section blackout by me, came out AWESOME.
Clear powdercoated (By Mike the Powdercoater) brushed stainless inner door sill protectors
Black/Stainless trim bolts around doors, hood, and hatch area, by me.
PIAA 1100x Fog Lights -- there are ALL you need for night driving.
Silver paint enhanced fuel rail covers
Ipod Adapter for stock stereo is included.
Switch plate for ash tray area for Alky Control, Line Lock, and cig lighter is installed.
Fuel Rails powdercoated black

Overall the car is in really decent shape for a non-show car with some miles on it. The paint isn't perfect and there are flaws here and there, but it's a great looking car that gets complimented all the time. The interior carpet has some stains, but nothing new under my ownership, all from the first owner. The seats are holding up quite nicely in terms of leather condition, without any tears or cracks. The drivers seat is flattening a little from usage, but that's normal. I have cared dearly for this car since taking it into my ownership, and would not be selling if I wasn't absolutely forced to at this point. Here's some various pics and the latest dyno sheet:

Vinyl covered halo, roof, and blacked out lower bumper:


SEND ME AN EMAIL OR A PM FOR MY PHONE NUMBER IF YOU WANT TO TALK. NO TRADES AT ALL, I MUST SELL THE CAR OUTRIGHT.

Thanks Jon!

Forgot to add that the car has a triple pillar gauge pod with Autometer Nexus gauges (Wide Band, Boost/Vac, and Fuel Pressure). These are NOT cheap gauges.

*edit* Forgot one other thing. Car has a set of mirror and nose satin stretch covers for the road trips from C5reations that will also be included.

Bump. I know this may not be the proper forum but lots of Camaro/Firebird guys aspire to move to a vette. I'm open to reasonable offers also, need to move this so I can concentrate on other pressing matters in my life.

If anyone is going to be at the LSx Shootout in St. Louis on Saturday the 9th, I'm going to have the car there parked with a data sheet and for sale sign.

Not too bad in this economy. Now you can finish your car, pay some bills... move on to other stuff.

Sorry to hear you had to let it go Sean. At least you got about what you wanted out of it.
