Overview of 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Race Car For Sale by Owner

In the realm of automotive marketing, the concept of a "race car for the road" is often thrown around, but seldom does reality meet the hype. Striking the perfect balance between the thrill of a race car and the comfort of a sports car is a rarity. However, the 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Race Car presented here defies convention. Boasting a modest 29,000 miles on the odometer and propelled by a potent 427ci V8 engine, this Corvette offers both creature comforts for cruising and the exhilaration of tearing down the track.

Exterior and Interior

Diverging from the typical race car aesthetics, this 1998 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Race Car retains its classic grey bodywork, embracing the iconic features of 90s Corvettes. While subtly incorporating enhancements like a front lip, side skirts, a 16lb carbon fiber hood, and an adjustable carbon fiber spoiler for improved downforce, it maintains a sleek and authentic appearance. Brown Fikse wheels housing upgraded Baer brakes underscore its performance focus. Inside, the black and tan interior seamlessly blends comfort and luxury—a rare combination in the realm of race cars. The inclusion of leather seats, equipped with Simpson 5-point racing harnesses, a mini shift light kit, gauges, and an interior roll bar for added safety exemplifies the fusion of race car functionality with everyday comfort.

Engine

At the heart of this C5 Corvette lies a rebuilt 427ci V8 powerhouse, delivering an impressive 620hp. The race-engine has undergone meticulous modifications, featuring Custom Wiseco Forged aluminum pistons, custom main rod bearings, and a 100-shot N20 NOS nitrous system with a window switch. Complementing its power are enhancements like a cone air filter and a Penske adjustable suspension. Safety takes precedence with the inclusion of a fire suppression system, providing reassurance in case of emergencies. The robust power generated by the upgraded engine is seamlessly transmitted to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission, ensuring an exhilarating and controlled driving experience.

The 1986 Chevrolet Corvette represents one of the defining early years of the C4 generation, when Chevrolet pushed the Corvette further into the modern performance era with digital instrumentation, aerodynamic styling, and Tuned Port Injection V8 power. Showing 99,665 miles, this example is finished in Black over a Red leather interior, a classic combination that suits the C4’s sharp, low-slung profile especially well. Its 5.7L L98 V8 is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, while features such as the removable targa roof panel, digital gauge cluster, Delco-Bose audio system, and power-adjustable sport seats give it the period-correct mix of technology and grand-touring comfort that made the C4 such a major step forward for the Corvette.

This 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible Restomod takes one of the most celebrated shapes in American sports-car history and updates the experience underneath without losing the visual drama that made the C2 Corvette iconic.

Few American performance cars have the visual drama of an early C3 Corvette, and this 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod adds a serious dose of big-block attitude to that already iconic shape. Showing approximately 58,617 miles, it wears Tuxedo Black over a Black interior and keeps the unmistakable low-slung proportions, removable T-tops, and cockpit-style cabin that made the third-generation Corvette such a standout. The real story, though, is under the hood, where a 467ci V8 built from a 454ci block brings the car well beyond factory specification. With the current owner reporting 609 HP and 597 LB-FT of torque on 91 octane, this is the kind of Corvette built for someone who wants classic C3 style with considerably more muscle behind the throttle.

This 1972 Chevrolet Nova is the kind of classic that proves you do not need stripes, spoilers, or a big-block badge to have genuine muscle-era appeal. Showing approximately 53,285 miles, it pairs a 307ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic, giving it the easygoing, torque-rich feel of a traditional small-block Chevy cruiser.
