I have an opportunity to buy a Gen 1 Coupe that was built for road racing. It is street legal,licensed and registered.
I have not seen the vehicle in person yet. It is still in gel coat, hideous steel pipe crash bumpers, limited interior basics, only race seat and gauges installed. Windscreen and hatch glass installed.
Looks like a decent 5.0L with trick flow heads, Goodyear F1 rubber. No information on trans. Only 331 miles. Claims to be built in 2012.

$20,000.00 US

What are the limitations on a Gen 1 Coupe? What should I look for or be aware of?

Depending on your size the gen 1 coupes are not as roomy in the cockpit and the door openings aren’t as big as the new gen 3.
Seems like you a have a pretty blanc canvas to make a nice car out of though, and for the price of a kit your driving already.
