A few words about the car:
The car is still in "as raced" condition.
It is one of only a handful of cars that still has
it's ORIGINAL racing engine. The only items missing
that I would still like to find are the race data
acquisition computer and the original engine that
the car came off the production line with. If you
have any contacts on where I may be able to find either
of these items, I would appreciate a name & number.
Due to the Andretti name associated with the car and
the fact that the 1988 Corvette Challenge B9P cars
are the first corvettes ever to be "officially"
built and sold as race cars by GM, this is indeed
a rare and a unique piece of corvette history. These
cars are very good candidates for collector, the 88s
will always be the first "official" race
cars which no other corvette can say, not even the
big tank ZO6s or the L88s.
