    Well, that was fun. We made it to 44 pages. Not bad for a Corvette thread on a truck forum. :gr_grin: :wave:

    Okay, this '67 is not stock, but oh baby! This. Car. Is. A. Beast.

    In mentioning the L88 option, I should have listed the number built each year, so here it is. Total Production of L88 Corvettes 1967: 20 1968: 80 1969: 116 Hey, let's go racing... Although the L88 was not designed for drag racing, it does an admirable job for a 53 year old car, no? With...

    Apologies to member @subseawellhead if this isn't the direction he intended for this thread. :doh2:

    Here are a few shots of Zora's ZL1 cafe-racer mule...never sold to the public... From a magazine in 1969, prior to the ZL1's actual release late in the model year...

    Let's have a closer look at the yellow ZL1, currently owned by Roger Judski. More after you swallow the above.

    What was RPO ZL1 anyway? Quite simply, it was a 1969 L88 with, not just aluminum heads, water pump and intake, but the first all-aluminum block too. An aluminum block may not sound very leading edge now, but in 1969 it was a mind-blower. With all that aluminum, this car actually weighed a bit...

    Seeing that beautiful C8 of 0xdeadbeef's reminds me of another yellow Corvette. The rarest production (meaning not a concept or a mule car) Corvette EVER. They built two...only two. The price of each of those two Corvettes was just $70 shy of double the base price, simply by selecting an item on...

    Amazing to see how much smaller a C2 is, no? Oh, and yes the driver's side front bumper is bent a bit. That's what happens when you actually race on road courses. Below is at Sonoma Raceway. By the way, BP means small block. AP refers to big block.

    You're going to see one of the largest collections of 1967, 1968 and 1969 L88 Corvettes ever assembled. This event took place at the Indy Speedway in 2018. You may remember that only 20 of these were built in 1967 and, amazingly, 10 of them are in this video. The '67s in this video are the most...

    I'm saving one of the best videos for after a few more people show up. It's still early morning...;)

    Given that Corvettes were never designed for drag racing, this video demonstrates what they're really designed for. This 1965 brings back great memories of my times on Mosport's 2.5 mi road course, the 'Grand Prix' course... The above was from Road America. The below is Mosport... Fun...

    Well, maybe you'll like this one... Or, this one? 1966 427 big-block, Baby! To the untrained ear, it sounds like it needs a tune-up. :slap:

    By the way, this is how Zora himself characterized his letter to the brass, trying to change their minds on the Corvette. (see his letter a few posts above) I was walking in the hall of the GM building (before the Technical Center in Warren was built). A man approached (I've since forgotten his...

    Almost single-handedly, Zora saved Corvette. When launched, General Motors executives had little idea what to do with this new style of car for North America. It was under-powered for a sports car, with only a stovebolt six cylinder and automatic to propel it. Ity had few creature comforts...not...

    It's almost Easter. Anyone interested in an Easter Egg Hunt? Owners of mid-engine, 2020 model Chevrolet Corvette, whose cars’ VINs are 11000 or higher, have something that earlier owners didn’t get. According to the National Corvette Museum, those 11000+ cars include what have become known in...
