No Le Mans 2020 For Corvette

May 15, 2020 Off By Mike Vietro

Our team continues to meet and discuss how we are going to move ahead with the COVID-19 outbreak. Per California law, we have decided to remain open for business to serve our valued customers.

Corvette Becomes Latest Withdrawal
from Le Mans

Last week, the Porsche GT Team withdraw their two 911 RSR’s from the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans and due to uncertainties surrounding the events around the world, this week the Corvette Racing team made the same decision for the 88th running of this prestigious race. This will allow the reserve cars to fill spots and be able to race.

“Corvette Racing has a long history of competing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, so our decision to not participate in this historic race this year was not an easy one,” said Jim Campbell, U.S. Vice President – Performance and Motorsports, in a statement supplied to Sportscar365.

“We’re proud Corvette Racing has been invited to the 24 Hours of Le Mans over the past 20 years and regret that we won’t be participating this year. We hope we have the opportunity to race at Le Mans again.”

Super Special

1969 L71 427/435hp Corvette Coupe!

This beautiful and very correct Fathom Green example presented here is one of those that left St. Louis with the N14 exhaust. It’s also equipped with the L71 427/435hp big block, M21 close ratio 4-spd., K66 Transistorized Ignition, tinted glass, power brakes, headlight washers and more.

The car has undergone an extensive, frame-off restoration and it is believed that the factory drivetrain is still in place (as evidenced in a report by C3 guru Mark Donnally).

The car has received an N.C.R.S. Top Flight Award.
Factory docs include an N.C.R.S. validated Tank Sticker, Owner’s Kit, and Keys.

Priced to Sell: $149,435 $139,900!
