Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 25th year in the classic and muscle car business. The Chevrolet Corvette has been a fixture at the world's racetracks ever since Zora Arkus Duntov dropped a Chevy V8 into the car in 1955. GM's infamous racing ban of 1963 was prompted by the 1957 resolution from the Automobile Manufacturers Association, and this led to limited engineering support for teams that raced Corvettes. By the late 1980's, however, times had changed and GM began to openly support competition, mainly as a way to improve its cars. This rare 2009 Chevrolet Corvette GT1 Championship Edition celebrates the results of this factory effort: 8 American Le Mans Series GT1 manufacturers and team championships, 5-time 24 Hours of Le Mans class champions, and 74 victories in international sports car competition. Impressive. Although GM initially planned to build 600 examples, they stopped at 125 and this is one of only 10 Velocity Yellow Convertibles! This beauty further distinguishes itself with an Edelbrock E-Force supercharger sitting atop the already potent 436 hp LS3. And yes, it's FAST. Additional features include power rack and pinion steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS, power windows, power leather and heated seats, power door locks, power top, power telescoping steering column, dual zone climate control, 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, dual mode exhaust system, head-up display, Bose premium audio system with 6-disc changer and MP3, memory package, navigation system, full width rear spoiler, and aggressive tires (245/40ZR18 F, 285/35ZR19 R) wrapped around alloy wheels. 3 autographs (including Antonio Garcia #3) are located under the center console cover, further separating this car from the field. This sub-15K mile thoroughbred comes with a clean Carfax but a helmet and racing suit are not included. One more premium Corvette from the Texas Hill Country's premier source for classic 'Vettes and the team that can make your dream a reality.
