Lime Rock '87. Some pencil neck geek named Boris drove this one. I always knew he'd never amount to anything

Not really willing to let this thread go off the page...lets go to Florida in 1972....
Now Daytona, the start....look at the Rebel, a few rows back, but not letting the prototypes off easy...I am sure she felt those Ferrari 312's sounded awfully stressed compared to her thundering big block. But they sure could go.

This car was on ebay I believe and was for sale. I saved these pics, and they closely match what "Chevrolet Power" stated was essential to do for off road use...

Road-Race Vette,
Why yes, after the 68 is finished the project 69 will become as exact as possible Greder 1974/75 configuration. It will be a replica, but as the original is not currently in the country, it will be a tribute to the efforts of Henri Greder and his cars...

Stan,
I am so glad you are on the forum. We talked a while back, and you had emailed me pictures of your car. Its a hope of mine to visit next year when I am out on the east coast. I was really hoping to see your car at Carlisle, but was flying the bomber all that week and could not get away. If you are ever in southern cali...
Lets agree that if you do the 51 then I do the 42 or vice versa...that way we have the chance of a good photo op one day...My preference is the 51 paint scheme, exactly, but thats because I really like real Mustangs.....P-51's
A current "vintage" racer...one of the fastest Corvette's I've seen.

Here is another shot. This thing was perfectly prepared and was one of the fastest machines of any type at the VARA Route 66 festival at California Speedway. The car belongs to Steve MacDonald, and was immaculate. It also was capable of incredible speeds. How do I post video clips? My daugnter liked it, but feels our (her) racer will be better.
The one detail for our car that I will take with us is the long hood, elimianting the wiper door and grille. Which I do not have anyway..

I agree, I am not sure if that was a painted standard bumper, but it sure looked like it. Perhaps they needed to make weight?
