1964 -1982 C2- C3 Vintage race car with history


This car was raced back in the 60’s by Keith Nelson as the #53 in Ca. Purchased by the legendary Ken Yeo and raced as the #53 and as the # 35 when it was reconfigured with the famous red white and blue livery. Ken and his wife Patti Yeo ran quite successfully with this car throughout Ca in the 60’s and 70s, and 80s.

In the early 80s Ken converted the C2 race car Trans Am specs. Including a C3 birdcage and a Greenwood style light weight wide bodied race car. I believe Larry Park was involved in this transformation and drove the sister car to victories as well. It ran successfully in many local races and Trans Am races in the mid 80s by both Ken and Patti Yeo, claiming many victories.

The car then traded hands minus drive train, about 3 times in about 20 years. Spending most of its time in Northern California and then South Florida. It still retains the Trans Am logs as well.

The car is extremely good original condition. The frame is rust free with no pitting or scaling. It shows no signs of any major damage. The body is complete and intact. It is also extremely light weight. The front and rear clip are easily removable. The doors and hood are also lightweight. The car has the frame reinforced in the critical suspension areas. The car still sits on the original 15x 10 3 piece wheels. A set of the 16’’ original wheels are available for an outside party as well as a complete correct spare wide body.

Here’s a list of the new parts the car now has on it. Most the parts are new from Vette Brakes and Products in Florida, the others items are new from other vendors. New rear end 3:70 posi with big block spindles and half shafts, new offset trailing arms, big J56 brakes and rotors, performance pads, new performance multileaf rear spring, new a arms, solid bushings, ball joints and front end, new steering box, 4 new QA1 shocks ,and coils springs. New ATL fuel cell, approximately 35 gallons, so it can run endures with out stopping if necessary. It has new lightweight front and rear windows as well.

Vettehardt,

How did your Dad do ???

73-84 IMSA Widebody

Nice car, if its still in Fla in Oct I would like to take a look at it.

vettehardt

I don't know how he did in the high speed event (didn't talk to him today), but I guess Dad let a guy we know from our region drive his car in the low speed. That guy just barely beat dad on his last run. Dad was a little bummed about that. He was running in the 1SF class.

Wow...that brings back a lot of memories. I used to autocross with Larry Park (Park Performance on the hood of the car) in the mid-1980s. Don't remember specifically if he autocrossed that car but that was the color scheme he used in all his race cars. I could probably write a book on my memories about Larry and his racing. SCCA Solo II B-Prepared champion several times along with his wife Pati (too bad he fooled around and she shot him dead). Larry also raced Winston West stock cars, NASCAR and TransAm. One story he liked to tell was he ran up PL Newman's *** in a TransAm race and was himself ran into by Dale Sr during A NASCAR race at Sears Point (Infinion) which I saw. Larry was at the tail end of the lead lap when the leader Dale "pushed" him off at the top of turn 2.

You should post your sale in the Northern California section. Many Corvette old timers may recognize it as I did. Wife asked me if I was interested in buying...I would have to get rid of both of our street vettes, get a trailer, etc...etc... Thanks for the memories.
