Production #14 R9G Corvette documented history and specs

A few words about the car from the current owner (Bill Hopwood):

I purchased this Corvette from Kim Baker around 1993. It came badged as the No. 4 car but I have since learned that it was originally raced as the No. 2 car. Having owned the car for a number of years now, I have collected a lot of history of the No. 4 car as it was raced during the 1990 and 1991 seasons. If anybody reading this has any additional information on the No. 2 car, it would be greatly appreciated and if anybody owns the original No. 4 car I have a lot of pictures as it was raced in 1990 and 1991.

When I purchased the car I was going to race regionally in SCCA ITE but decided against it as I recognized the history of the car and asked myself why I should beat a car up like that in a regional race. I did race it a couple of times, auto crossed it a couple of times, but it has not been on a track in over 7 years. I start it up and drive it around the driveway and change the oil and drain the gas so that I am hopefully maintaining the car in the best condition that I can for long term storage. Some innovative suspension tweaks performed by Kim Baker. Ray Zisa of Corvette Center has provided me with some original pictures of the No. 2 car for documentation purposes.
