    Jason although I have wondered myself about that 62 above with the radiused wheelwells I am not sure it is Wildabeast. If you notice it has a the fuel injection emblem used on only the 62 Vettes below the cross flags on the side cove panel. I also am not sure that Wildabeast used that particular induction setup.

    If you look at what we know is Wildabeast you will notice he appears to use the much nicer fuel injection script from the 58-61 Vettes that was place above the cove just forward of the door.

    It actually may be fun to try and figure out that particular car. That being said After Skip Hess sold the car and moved onto his Anglia the new owner could have made the changes as pictured. The more we try and solve mysteries the more we learn which is not all bad. Wildabeast-3.jpg

    Jim thanks for the reply. It might not be the Wildabeast but it looks a lot like it and reminds me of it. Regardless it’s a nice action shot of a great looking car.

    Jason I agree wholeheartedly. One day we (or someone on here) will figure out who was driving that really cool 62.

    Probably sucks the scoop right against the stacks. Here's a question for your injection guys. Is there reversion on an injector like a carb has?

    MY logic would say no, but I had never thought about it before. Injection the gas is delivered under pressure under the throttle plates where in a carb it is drawn it under a vacuum. Or is my logic flawed?

    It is Dan's Corvette. Although now it is sporting a straight axle. 34445109_1993181377389770_4465965436000796672_o.jpg

    Reversion is not a function of how the gas gets into the cylinders but rather what happens with big overlap cams allow some of the intake charge to be pushed back out of the combustion chamber.

    SO it really doesn't matter if gas is added above or below the throttle plates? thanks

    LB that is Paris Fish' black 62 that he drove in high school I believe. I wonder where the car is today. It always stoked a fire in me when I saw it. He probably had a blast with it. Hope it is still around with the same look. If it was parked next to a stock black 62 it would quite the picture IMO.

    Jim what years would that be. I do recall back when I had my first car on the road (1967) there were 2 or 3 standout cars that everyone would talk about.

    Pat Paris Fish grew up in the Los Angeles area and drove it in high school. He and I are the same age and since I graduated high school in 1968 I would say he was driving a pretty nice car that was only a few years old. Lucky guy. Cool car-a lot cooler than my high school car for sure.

    Jim I graduated in 66 and the only thing I was tooling around in was a NYC bus. But pulling all sorts of 60s hi-perf cars in and out of the shop I hung out at.

    I had my grandmother's 59 Galaxie which my dad approved of but tried to buy a fawn beige 61 Vette from a car dealer ($600 I seem to remember) low hp car with a three speed and a large hole in the driver's door (looked like a pirate shot a cannon ball thru the door). My dad nixed the sale. I at least tried to go the Vette route but not quite up to Paris Fish' car anyways.

    They look like blue streak tires on the back.

    Alright in the spirit of trying to get back from our frolic and detour, does anyone else believe that this car may have been a different version of the The Vendetta (or The Vendetta II). Wonder why they had a number II version?

    The color is similar but the stripe is a bit different-maybe different anyways on I and II. Stack injected with the same stance pretty much with a nice straight axle-just wondering?
