Back in the day, we used TORQUE THRUST "D" as they had the rear offset clearance for the disc brake caliper. Todays new American Repo's have no problem, but ask and make sure they fit the caliper. 15x 7 inch wheels will fit, but it is the tire 'width' that rub, especially when entering a...

Mine is like yours. I used it a lot in the 80's and 90's when I was restoring or working on these cars a lot. Very usefull to call the dealer parts department and give him the number for the exact part I want. As time went on, the part numbers were updated and changed, that is why they issued...

I talked to the owner the Wednesday after the auction, and Paul told me it was "in escrow" with an 'after sale' buyer. I had a backup buyer, but as of today he has not called back, so I assume the car has sold. We will see it on the Vintage Race events later this year. A very well documented...

Tom, i just noticed. LOOK AT PICTURE OF THE ENGINE. CAN YOU BLOW THAT UP FOR US ALL TO SEE ? THAT IS AN AIR BOX 57 ENGINE COMNPARTMENT. ONE OF 43 CARS MADE ! We have found 29 of the originals. If your friend has the vin number, i may be able to reunite he and the car one again.

I recently found the "original" engine from Pilot line 1963 Corvette, vin number 100022. It is a fuel enjection engine, complete with original pistons, camshaft, oil pan, and front cover. No heads or intake. Very excellent condition, no ridge in cylinders. The numbers are 3100022 F0618RF on...

Congrat's to all It is such a pleasure to see this coverage of this early car being discussed here on CAC. The Corvette hobby is very well. Ken, Russ, and Brett, thank you. I wish I was in Florida last weekend. Arizona Auction Circus always grabs me as it is so close. Tom and I fought off...

This is BOB BONDURANT'S 1957 race Corvette. Not sure who the gal is, but Bob probably remembers. He had a habit of knowing 'all' the gals at the races. The car was originally raced by Jerry Austin here in Southern California. Today, Mick Sweezy owns and vintage races the car. One of the very...

SOLD FOR $310,000 ! Somebody liked it

Stiring the pot ! You bring up a good point Loren. Things may not be what one thinks. May in INDY is always a crazy month. This year there will be many cocktails consumed to help sort out all the history at Dana's auction. There are some increditable cars going thru this auction. And all...

ME TOO BOB I am in California Bob, and have the same interest as Wayne. JIM GESSNER at jim@registryofcorvetteracecars.com Wayne, and I are working hard to post Corvette Race cars to the REGISTRY OF CORVETTE RACE CARS

That is Mike Adams at Santa Barbara or Pomona Joe Freitas identified as Mike Adams. Sorenson Chevrolet was in Wittier and Jim Simpson worked there. He was owner/ sponsor of Dave MacDonald's CORVETTE SPECIAL. I do not know Mike, but we are looking for him. The 61 DAVE MacDonald Special was...

yOU ARE CORRECT. THE QUESTION WAS FOR A 097 EARLY CAM

Car has Mickey Thompson "RADAR" wheels. The roll bar looks like Tony Settember's old 58 silver / red FI race car, and the desert background is "anywhere" Southern California upper desert / Palm Springs. Where is that car today?

Tom, it is the original 57 SS. Car was sold to a GM exective in Michigan. He and his wife went on vacation, and left the home with their caretaker, who took it for a joy ride, and wrapped it around a tree. Car was sold to a friend of the exective in Alburqerque, NM. This was the last car Mike...

what was the vin? THE OLD Dave MacDonald/ Joe Freitas 57 race car had 58 tail lights when sold. Joe sold it in 65, then that guy sold it to a Torance cop who had it a couple of years and sold to a guy who then had it stolen. I know the vin number and even have the original pink slip with...
