Vehicle Description
CRUISIN CLASSICS has come across a very rare and very cool car that
has it's place in the CC Hall of Fame. This is one of the most rare
specialty car EVER built. It is a 1 of 1, 1987 Traco/Guldstrand
Chevrolet Corvette GS 80 roadster. Corvette experts will remember
that Roger Penske and Chevrolet contracted suspension guru Dick
Guldstrand (Guldstrand Engineering, Culver City, California) and
the performance wizards at Traco Racing Engines to develop the now
priceless 6 original Grand Sport Corvettes.This particular Corvette
was purposely built in 1988 to be the fastest Corvette Convertible
in the world. Road amp; Track Magazine featured The Worlds Fastest
Street Car Shootout in 1988 and NASCAR driver Ricky Rudd pushed
this car to 172 miles per hour at the TRC Test Track in Ohio. This
car was driven to and from the track that very day. It is an
incredible car throughout and can be driven anywhere.The engine- a
NASCAR-grade 388ci, Traco built small block Chevy V-8. The engine
alone...$27,000!!!ZF 6 speed transmission, McLeod "Street Twin"
dual disc clutch with aluminum flywheel, oil cooler, 500 watt
stereo, cruise control and of course....A/C. You have to have A/C
in a car that goes 172mph. Just Sayin'.With even more history here,
it would be a great addition to any Performance, Corvette
collection. We have a Notebook full of photo's from Road amp; Track
Magazine and it is also loaded with detailed information about the
specifics and rarity of this car.There were only 2 of these
prototype engines ever built by Jim Jones at Traco. Alex Van Halen
of the rock band Van Halen had the other. This alone is very cool.
With all of the "cookie cutter" Corvettes around it can get a
little boring. This is absolutely NOT your typical 'Vette. There is
a very good possibility that you will NEVER see another one like
yours...EVER.If you have any additional questions, please call one
