It has the original log books and clear owner title. It also has Rochester Fuel Injection, period stamped metal rockers, and a wet oiling system.
It was built 1964
The Corvette race vehicle registry, founded 1964, contains a listing of Corvettes used for racing. These cars have undergone significant changes since the initial introduction. The hood's simulated-air intakes were removed. A scoop was placed in the rear window's center bar. And the parking brake was switched to a lever in the center console. Also, the engine was completely redesigned. The resulting Solid lifter 427/430 engine was one of the most loved ever made. Moreover, the big tank option replaced the standard gas tank with a 36.5 US gal tank, a size more appropriate for racing. Even though the Z06 option package included an oversized fuel tank that was not suitable to be used with convertibles, it was made available later.
It boasts a period racing inside
The period racing interior is an integral part of a Corvette's racing history. A period Corvette is registered in the SCCA period logbook 031-213. It also has Gold Medallion certification as a period racecar. It has won the Monterey Historic races several times and was accepted into the Registry of Corvette Race Cars.
It was made to do the minimum.
Two reasons led to the Corvette race car registry being kept at a minimum. The first is that Corvette racing rules require cars to be directly derived of road-going models. Secondly, GM has stopped using the DOHC DOHC V8 flat-crank in road cars. The car was popularized by fans as the racing version Cadillac's "Blackwing V8."
It is worth a lot of money
Corvette race cars are fast and beautiful, and they command massive sums of money when they hit the market. Anyone can submit information on corvette race cars to the Registry of Corvette Race Cars. The site was started by Jim Gessner and Jan Hyde, who had a passion for Corvettes and wanted to document their history.
