If you don’t know what a Corvette Challenge car is, click here for a decent explanation. The gist of what happened is this: in the mid 80’s, Corvettes were too fast and the SCCA banned them from competition. In order to keep everything copasetic, the SCCA devised a racing class just for Corvettes, similar to that of the IROC Porsche and Camaro’s. All the cars were to be based on stock configuration, with limited modification, in order to highlight driver expertise. We believe around 110 of these cars were built in ‘88 and ‘89, making this car, at $45,000, a possible ‘deal.’ …Read More »

Mongoose Motorsports is a company that primarily focuses on building Corvette Grand Sport replicas. This one has unique history in that it ran, and won it’s class, at Brock Yates’ One Lap of America in 2002. The One Lap is Yates’ tribute to the Cannonball Run (essentially unrestricted race across the U.S.) he helped run through the 70’s. Now, the racing is done on racetracks and the rest of the driving around the U.S. is for “transportation” or cruising, over a 7 day period. It’s cool to have a car that’s run this event and survived, this one is listed on EBay with reserve not met at $49,995. …Read More »

This is perhaps the car from the Golden Era of the Trans Am Series. There’s a good write up here if you want to learn more about the details of Trans Am racing but really all you need to know is that SCCA Trans Am was the 1960’s version of what NASCAR is today– Huge. “Win on Sunday, sell on Monday” was the common theme that kept most American car manufacturers racing on the weekends. Ford and Shelby Mustangs, Boss 302’s, AMC Javelin’s and Mercury Cougars battled Camaro’s like this one through out the late 60’s and into the early 1970’s. Because the cars were still largely based on production models, privateers could build cars and race head-to-head against factory cars; this made for some of the best sportscar racing in the history of the US. What we have here is one of the “privateer” cars, run by Team Penske, sponsored by Sunoco and driven by Mark Donohue (cool first hand stories about Mark here) to win the Trans Am Series Championship in 1969. …Read More »
