Found a 1LE race car and took some pics.

This was at Arts Corvettes in Bowling Green, KY. It was on display in a private museum of sorts. Its located across the street from the Corvette Museum.

Anyway, this car was used and abused. They claim 400 hp out of the 305 lol Heres the pics!

It had a radio delete plate. I wasnt able to get any engine shots, or RPO shots unfortunately.

How much where they asking? That place across from the 'vette museum is a dealer, right? I went there and I think they charged $5 bucks to walk through the showroom.

I'd love to track that 1LE!

Yes, thats the place. $5 entrance fee. Most cars had an obnoxiously high price but I did not see one on the 1LE. I tried to get a pic of the vin but it didnt work. I didnt have a way to write it down

Sorry to be "that guy" but weren't '88s quite low production?
And they're referring to it as 1LE "testbed."

Next time you've nothing to write with, send a text or leave yourself a voicemail. Just saying.

Re: Found a 1LE race car and took some pics.

hmm good idea I didnt think of the text. I'm driving back home today from Kentucky. If anyone else feels so inclined, here is the contact info for the place. I'm sure they could dictate the VIN to you if you called and asked.

Arts Auto Mart
513 Duntov Way
Bowling Green, KY 42101-9176
(270) 843-0001

I doubt anyone will though.




Just sayin'
