Here's the fiberglass styling model of the Corvette SS in the Lockheed wind tunnel in December, 1956:

And here are those body panels again, ten weeks later, attached to the Corvette SS "mule" chassis at Sebring, during practice two days before the race; this "mule" was very crude, including a firewall and rear bulkhead made of plywood. The driver's door panel is somewhere out on the course .

But this "mule" chassis lives on today under the original 1959 Sting Ray racer/show car!

Last Sunday.

Note the extra-long tailpipe tips to keep the bumpers clean!

What a coincidence. My '64's last street poweplant was a 388 Sprinter engine, as I recall it's a 400 block destroked to 3 9/16 with a forged crank and flat-top Arias pistons. This engine is in my oldest son's '63 Chevy II 100 two-door post now.

The Corvette is sitting engineless and dusty in the barn, waiting for the fourth and last child to finish college. Current plans call for my favorite mill of all time, a Cad 500, to go in rather than a heavier Chevy BB.

500 caddy is an interesting choice.......I am currently planning a 427 small block for our 72....possibly turbo charged.... You can never run out of "things to do " with a vette....
