Features Corvette hot rods - picture thread

Geez Enloe,
I was just joshing you a bit.
I really like your Vette. The wheels are traditional to my high school days. M/T Raiders?

Sorry if you deleted it on my account

 

It’s not a problem I will have more pictures

 

I found these of my oldest son and my uncle’s 62. 327, 4spd, hardtop, black interior.

Well ... I hit the search function, for both "Robert Yoas", & the "1962 GNRS Corvette" ... and came up blank, but I'm sure someone will come up with 6.5 dozen pictures of this from the HAMB >>>



GNRS 1962. The 1957 Corvette Of Robert Yoas extended front fenders ... 12 Inches & extended rear by 6 inches. Low set headlights, with candy crimson paint on the body, & candy gold covers & roof. Other features included chromed & reversed wheels, & removable quarter windows in the top.

 

... and the first version. Built by Dick Bertolucci, and subsequently wrecked, rolled, and burned to the ground.

Thank you, Rik Hoving !!!

 

It's Rik Hoving and Larry Watson Corvette Appreciation Day, today.











... and apologies if Loudbang already has an extensive file with these cars on here ... I'm not going thru 176 pages on 9% battery !!

Thank you Rik Hoving, and the appropriately placed ... Larry Watson Photo Collection.

Oh ... and thank you Loudbang !! Haha

 

Bob Bondurant day


Riverside




Laguna Seca

 

First vette at Lemans

 

One of the few purple cars I would own

 

$68,000 is stupid money. For what?

 

That's the "I got it, you want it" price. Quite frankly, I'm a little surprised that it's not more.

 

This car has been for sale for a while. I like the car and would love to own it but I have enough junk. Happy that it has stayed a drag car and hope it continues to help future generations see that there was more to the history of the car than the showroom models that make up most shows. Not sure he is in a hurry to sell it at the price but if it had some real history the price would be even more. If I owned it though I would love to run it down the track.

As much as I like the nice drag cars, when I saw Jeff's black 60 (with the blue top) at this years Glory Days event I found it would be more fun to run them if they were not "so perfect" in terms of body and paint. Jeff's car is perfect IMO.

Sorry for the crappy photo of my car with Jeff's car-only pic I took..

 

Hmm, doesn't look bad to me...

Enloe what times did that Corvette turn?

Pat

 

Pat, John's 62 is now running in the 9s. I am not sure how deep he has gone but he keeps going quicker. A really bad ass 62.

 

I was going to say “I am unsure ask Jim” but he beat me to the punch

 

Don't mind the plate
