Production #16 R9G Corvette documented history and specs

Owners:

A few words about the car from the previous owner:

This yellow car with black interior was raced in the 1990 Escort Challenge Series by Bakeracing (Kim Baker) and normally ran as the #5 car. It has lightweight hood and 8 point roll cage. The car has a number of modification done for that series.

The Corvette was bought from Kim Baker at the end of the 1990 season and brought to Asia and ran it in the Asian Super Car Challenge - a series that was loosely based on street cars.

Bakeracing put the interior back in to the car, reinstalled the windows and headlights and put the passenger seat back in to the car. It ran in two races in 1991 (Bira Circuit in Thailand and then Macau) and at the end of 1991 returned to the US.

During the period 1992 - 1997 It raced in Norcal SCCA Vintage Class and also ran it in a number of open tracks.

Here's a message from the previous owner:

"I bought one of Kim Baker's cars at the end of the 1990 season. I brought it to Hong Kong (where I was living at the time) and raced it in the Asian Super Car Challenge in 1991. I then moved back to the US in 1992 and brought the car with me.

I raced it with Nor Cal SCCA in the Vintage class and also drove it in many Nor Cal Shelby Club open tracks during the period 1992 - 1997.

I moved back to Hong Kong in 1998 and the car was put into my Mom's garage (where it still remains).
