which
wasn’t so far from her home base in Georgetown, Indiana. Can you guess
the tuner?
Don’t you wonder what Janice’s friends would have
said if they knew she was planning a near $20,000 build of her brand-new black-on-black
‘98 coupe? The 415 horsepower sure wasn’t LS1 stock.
"We did the flames first. I had already decided I wanted
this car to be unique and different. But then I sent it to Mallett to tweak
it a little bit."
The irony is that when Janice cut loose and built the Corvette
of her dreams, she created a C5 that has much more collector value than the
factory LS1/automatic coupe.
"Sixty years from now, if somebody buys my car, they’ll
see the metal build number by Mallett on the door. They can call the museum
and find out this car originally belonged to Janice Phillips."
