Did you guys notice that the tach was laying on its side and did anybody catch the Radio Shack FM booster under the dash? I haven't seen one of those things in YEARS!

Hey Scott!!! How ya been?!
I hate dial-up....takin too long to load the pics. The mufflers are spiral baffle/inserts. You can adjust the sound of the exhaust by adding/removing the number of plates inside.
Too bad I can't see the rest of the car. What I did see don't look all that bad, tho. Would I want it in da driving way? Naw...wrong color!

OK it is nice but a few things that I think would make it look better are.......
1. Exterior painted solid color with pin stripes to match the interior (get rid of the twin turbo stripes on the sides). 2. Some nice custom wheels (get rid of the gold center wheels). 3. Put a front spoiler on it.

Might look better, but the graphics, the wheels, the paint, all very period-correct for a tuner car of that era. The colors are sorta reminiscent of Dan Gurney's AAR color scheme from the era. Even the wood applique on the console and aircraft style gauges. I wouldn't change a thing even if I hated it.

Tanx, Mark! That did help a widdle.
The metal "plates" under the hood are heat shields to keep the heat from the turbos from melting the hood.
The tach is "sideways" because, back then, it was common for us to install the tach so the redline would be straight up...made it easier to see when runnin all out.
The interior is a wee bit dated, fer sher, but it looks just like 90% of the rest of the cars that were "modified" back then.
Man...ya think Gomer would like werkin on the engine in that thing?
That mess looks like more trouble than a Callaway! Adams' Apple 2008-09-30 18:21:52

Cool, glad I could help out a widdle bit
I emailed the seller and they know very little about this Vette. Heres what they had to say. Anyone ever heard of that builder?
Thank you for your interest in our Twin Turbo Vette. We do not have dyno sheets or other build or preparation documents for the car. We are still attempting to collect some of the information ourselves—what we know is that the car was built and prepared by a gentleman named Gohl, a custom Corvette builder, who owned the car for many years. He apparently traded the vehicle into a family owned dealership which also retained the car in their collection for several years before finally releasing the car recently. The car is very well prepared and has been retained in very good condition. Please feel free to call or contact me with further interest or additional questions that you might have concerning this very unique vehicle.
