Our old C12 is back for sale. It's on Pcarmarket. I hope it finds the right home. This was one of my all time favorites.

Re: Hardtop C12 on Pcar
Im of the opinion that car needs a 427ci LS engine. LPE wasn't ideal but if the car will be driven at all, it would be way more enjoyable.

Re: Hardtop C12 on Pcar
Seems opinions differ on that one. When we had the car, it had the 427 and the original engine on the stand. That 427 was a screamer and a blast to drive. But it is nice the car is back to the original setup.

Pete Callaway just put a Callaway built 427 in his C12....making it perfect IMO.

Re: Hardtop C12 on Pcar
I agree, as long as you have the original engine, why not keep the big cube motor in place?
Interesting it went to $113K no sale on BaT, new dealer pulls the 427 and relists for $165K w/o the 427.
I've got a new katech C5R 427 build for this very reason.
