Description
1988 CORVETTE CHALLENGE RACE CAR #2. From 1985
to 1987 Corvette dominated the SS class of the
SCCA Showroom Stock Endurance Championship. Its'
record was 19-0. In fact, in 1987 Chevy won the
Manufacturers' Championship by a modest 81-7
margin. SCCA mercifully ended this brutal
massacre by creating an entirely new class for
this car. What else do you do with a car in a
class by itself? The Corvette Challenge Series
was born. In 1988 the #2 car was driven by Juan
Manuel Fangio II, nephew of Juan Manuel Fangio
of Argentina, five time Formula One world
driving champion. In the 1988 ten race series,
the #2 car, campaigned by Tom Gloy Motorsports,
won three races and finished second overall in
the series. No other car in the series won as
many races. The car was purchased by Jim Crist,
a Corvette dealer from Largo, Fl., after the
inaugural race series. Jim campaigned the car in
SCCA and drove it to three Regional
Championships. The car comes as raced in SCCA
with many spare parts and accessories. During
the 1988 Corvette Challenge, SCCA took the top
ten cars after the first four races and replaced
the original sealed engines with replacement
motors to insure that the original engines had
not been tampered with. We have the original
sealed engine on an engine stand with the
replacement engine still in the car. There are
promotional materials such as GoodYear tire
advertising posters, mounted and framed, that
come with the vehicle as well as various
magazine articles. The original SCCA log book #
88 131 comes with the car and has been signed by
Fangio. The first factory built Corvette race
car is offered for the first time at $49,850.
Will consider interesting Corvette as possible
trade. Financing available.
