A few words about the car from the current owner:

Taken from MAMotorworks.com: "All 1989 Challenge Cars had the new ZF six-speed manual transmission, and a new adjustable suspension system, Option RPO FX3. This permitted three variations of suspension control, regulated by a console switch. The Corvette Challenge Series ended at the close of the 1989 season, but Corvettes continued to race in the SCCA World Challenge Series."

Other interesting facts:

  • Original color of this vehicle is black.
  • Ruhlman's professional road racing career got off the ground in 1990, when he moved up from the highly touted Corvette Challenge to the ranks of the Trans-Am Series.
  • Randy is running better then ever even today, check out his website: RandyRuhlman.com.
