1977 Chevrolet Corvette

1977 Chevrolet Corvette IMSA SuperVette The most powerful and brutal racing Corvette ever designed. One of only 2 tube frame Corvette chassis built Designed by Bob Riley, chassis built by Charlie Selix and Gary Pratt (later Pratt and Miller) Aluminum big-block V8 engine with 750+ horsepower Concours-level restoration by Canepa to 1978 specifications Raced by John Paul Sr. of JLP Racing Porsche 935 magnesium brake calipers Historic IMSA GTX eligible With big-block power, visually striking bodywork and with the performance characteristics (and noise) of a rocket ship, IMSA Corvettes were some of the loudest, brash and powerful cars to ever run in the series. This Greenwood Supervette , driven by the now infamous John Paul Sr. (JLP Racing), is one of two tube-frame chassis ever built, and was one of the fastest cars in IMSA and a constant threat to its competition. Fully restored by Canepa to its 1978 IMSA specifications, this aluminum big-block tube-frame bruiser designed and built by the pre-Protofab team is the ultimate expression of an IMSA Corvette.
