Chevrolet built 56 street-legal Corvettes with 4+3 manual transmissions and Z51 Performance suspensions. They were then shipped to Protofab in Wixom, ichigan, nd fitted with competition equipment that included a racing seat, afety harness and roll cage, fire-extinguisher system, erformance brake pads and special cooling ducting. Special Corvette Challenge emblems, ow restriction exhaust and Dymag wheels with shaved Goodyear Gatorback tires completed the modifications. Engines built at Flint were matched for consistent power output and sealed before installation. Running in support of Cart and Trans Am races, he series was broadcast on the fledgling SpeedVision network and was an instant hit with racing fans who liked the shoulder-to-shoulder action and forceful maneuvering that are inherent in any racing that places talent over technical advantage. Presented in "as-raced" condition, his 1988 Challenge Car #5 is one of only 56 built in 1988. It was originally campaigned by Precisions Auto Centers and driven by Mike Hughes in eight of the nine rounds.
The #5 Challenge Car spent 10 years on display in the New York Corvette Americana Hall Of Fame Museum. It has been bought and sold by Mike Yager, r. twice. With only 3,062 original miles, his car is one of the most original and undamaged Challenge cars in existence and an excellent candidate for vintage racing. This C4 is ready to hit the track the second you buy it!
