This car was said to have a all aluminum 427 engine that failed in the 70s and was then replaced with the next best thing available at that time which was theLS7. The current engine block suffix is XCH which would have been a over the counter GM performance catalog item LS7. Rare GM snow flake aluminum 074 L88/ZL1 heads are still on it. Appears to be correct matching number transmission as well as differential. F-41 suspension, nbsp;69 on rear shocks (see pictures). Factory side exhaust, adio delete. Lights and windshield wipers are working.There is a old photo of the car showing the flares on it long ago. Original 972 can am white with original 421 SL interior. The stars and stripes are painted onand looks incredible! There is a photo showing the drivers door jamb that still has the original paint and sticker. 32k miles, he undercarriage is unrestored and has no rust.

The original #49Greenwood car was delivered new as a factory L88 Corvette before becoming one of three “Stars & Stripes” team cars sponsored by BF Goodrich (BFG) during the 1971-1973 seasons. Numbered #49, hey were initially slated for promotional use by BFG, lthough quickly converted to racing specification and powered by one of the last Traco-built ZL-1 motors. Driven by top road course drivers of the period, ncluding John Greenwood, ob Johnson, ick Smothers and Don Yenko, ts initial major win was a first place in the GT class in 1972 at the Watkins Glen six-hour race. In 1973, he #49 “Stars & Stripes” BFG team car raced in the trifecta of FIA events: the 12 Hours of Sebring, he 24 Hours of Daytona, nd the 24 Hours of Le Mans, here it set the GT speed record of 215 mph on the Mulsanne straight in qualifying.

This Greenwood L-88/Zl-1 Clone is a beautiful example that will command attention driven on the street or having a blast at Sebring. Engine sounds amazing! Click link below to see Video..
