The #81 Z06 belongs to a home contractor in the Pittsburgh, PA area named "C.J. Titterington". I first saw this car an had the opportunity to chat at length with C. J. at the 2016 Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. Here is a photo of his car displayed on the lawn that day (C. J. is on the far left in the white cap):




C. J.'s Z06 was sold new in Homestead, Pa and spent it's entire life as a race car. His car was also displayed @ Corvettes @ Carlisle in 2016 in the GM "Heritage" tent as it is a Heritage award winner!

Here's an article specificially about tthe owner and his historic Z06:

Does C.J. Titterington still own the car or has it exchanged hands with Larry Sachs??

. . . I'm not really sure - the last time I had any conversations with C. J. was in Carlisle in 2016!

If you read the article, and check out the photos . . . you'll discover one very interesting tidbit @ this particular car! While it was ordered specifically to be a race car - as a Z06 big tank, radio delete car . . . it was ordered with one very strange factory option! . . . power windows! The driver ordered power windows so he could quickly put the window down on the passenger side during pit stops so he didn't have to reach across the cockpit and crank the window down! Cool stuff for sure!!!

I just assumed it was noticed that the picture taken of the #81 car at the 2018 Pittsburgh Vintage Grandprix International Car Show is a 1964, Non-fuel injected; 365 hp car. The #81 car drove by Forsyth back in the day was a 1963 Z06 Fuel injected; 360 HP car. The same car noted below owned byC.J. Titterington

See the previous link below for further explanation;

You're looking at 2 different cars in Jack's post - the "Don Duffy" car is a 64 for sure - but it's silver blue. I took my picture of the #81 in July, 2016 . . . Jack's picture (I believe) is from July 2018 (I think the last time he was @ this event - I was there that same weekend and stayed with Jack & his son -who lives in Pittsburgh). The #81 car is definately a real '63 Z06 with a FI 360 engine!

Yes, I agree. The post I was talking about is the #81 car in the post from 2018. The car in the 2018 post is different than the #81car in 2016 post.

Different? . . . in what way? I'm pretty sure it's the exact same car!

I did not mean to post the other cars in my post. Just the # 81.

As I mentioned in my earlier explanation if you look at the two #81 cars in this post they have different motors and they are different year of car, one is a 63 and the other a 64.

You'll need to explain that one . . . only my photo from 2016 has a shot of the engine - the picture that Jack took in 2018 has the hood closed!
