I met one of the admin, Jim, last week at the Legends of Riverside III. At that time, I promised I would share info I had on a former racing Corvette.

I did that last week and had a wonderful chat on the phone with another of their admin, Jan.

They are working to keep track of all the Corvette's that raced and as much history on each that is reasonably possible. Every bit helps.

Also, they have an extensive database of cars, so if you are looking for something, or have information on one, they are the place to go!

I have taken the liberty to add them as a Friend of the Guru. It is a section below vendors of sites that are important to our shared hobby.

These are very dedicate gents, who are doing a great service for the Corvette hobby. Let's show them some support!

Sounds intrigueing. I'm gonna go check them out.

The website looks nicely done. Great photos. One thing I didn't notice was a way to search for cars or drivers. Maybe you need to pay the $20 first?

The $20 will give you more search capacity.

Well how about that.

This car:

Is sitting next to my car at the shop here in Detroit right now...

$1.8M anyone?

Tony has some great stories to tell.

It is quite possible his dad got that car on order... or Zora just did it when he saw the name.

A few years earlier, Tony and his brother placed the order for a 63 coupe that was to become their fathers car.

They asked for all the right bits, FI, heavy this, extra that. Zora calls the house one day and asks who is this car for, more acurately, who is it REALLY for... "we were going to do some racing". Zora replied, "I will take care of it."

A few weeks later, what was essentially a race prepped C2 arrived.
