One-Off Cannibal-Chevrolet IMSA Prototype Chases a New Home on Bring a TrailerA homemade Le Mans Classic regular with a genuine IMSA racing resume is currently up for grabs on Bring a Trailer, where bidding has reached $33,888 ahead of the auction's close on August 31. Built from a tube-frame Oldsmobile Cutlass into a purpose-made World Sports Car prototype, this Cannibal-Chevrolet is one of the more unusual survivors of 1990s American endurance racing, and its history sheet reads like a highlight reel of Daytona and Sebring appearances.The car's story began in 1992, when fabricator Tommy Riggins built it as a tube-frame Cutlass for Scott Flatt Racing to contest the 1994 IMSA GTS class. In that configuration it finished both the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring before adding four more starts that season. Heading into 1995, Fantasy Junction founder and then-owner/driver Bruce Trenery had the car reworked with new composite bodywork from Kampney Design so it could compete in IMSA's newly created World Sports Car class. The conversion made it the only front-engined car in the field, and it went on to finish the Daytona enduro three more times, in 1995, 1996, and 1998, along with a pair of Sebring starts and several other IMSA outings.Retired from competition after 1998, the car changed hands in 2004 and again in 2009, when a Florida-based owner campaigned it at vintage events before it moved to a Canadian collection. Its current owner brought the car to Switzerland and prepared it for Peter Auto's Le Mans Classic series, where it has run in 2018, 2022, and 2023, along with appearances at the Dix Mille Tours and the Grand Prix de l'Age d'Or at Dijon.AdvertisementAdvertisementUnder the louvered, silver-red-and-blue bodywork sits a 388-cubic-inch Chevrolet V8 that was built and installed in 2023, backed by a G-Force GF4A four-speed manual gearbox added in 2024. Power reaches a Ford 9-inch rear axle with a limited-slip differential, while AP Racing and Wilwood discs handle braking duties following a 2022 overhaul by Rebellion Motors. The cockpit centers on a single Sparco seat with a Schroth six-point harness, a MOMO steering wheel on a quick-release hub, and an aluminum dash filled with Pro-Comp gauges and an 8,000-rpm tachometer; the harness and fire-suppression system were both renewed this past spring.Seller BryanSerafini is offering the car out of Geneva with a spare hood panel, a set of body molds, SVRA and CASC logbooks, and a bill of sale, and notes that an application for an FIA Historic Technical Passport is already in progress, a detail that could smooth the car's path into European historic racing paddocks.Because it's a one-off special built for racing rather than a production model, the Cannibal-Chevrolet won't show up in Hagerty's valuation tools the way a numbers-matching Corvette or Cutlass would. Still, that price guide is a useful gut check for the broader market this car lives in, tracking steady collector interest in Chevrolet-powered performance machines and showing how the muscle-era Oldsmobile models it was born from have held value even as tastes shift toward more usable classics. The same guide recently framed Motorious coverage of a no-reserve pickup bidding under Hagerty's own numbers, and it's worth applying that same lens to purpose-built racers like this one, where value is driven less by a price chart and more by provenance and event eligibility. This isn't the only unusual racer to cross the Bring a Trailer block lately, either; a Howe Racing-built Dodge Challenger Trans Am TA2 car and a street-legal BAC Mono R formula car have both drawn plenty of attention in recent weeks, a sign of just how much appetite there is right now for cars that blur the line between road and racetrack.Bidding continues through August 31 on Bring a Trailer, where interested buyers can review the full photo set and ask the seller questions before the auction closes.⚡️ Read the full article on MotoriousSign up for the Motorious Newsletter.
