1969 Race Car # 48
 

 
 

This 1969 was originally an L-88; BFGoodrich tire sponsored and raced by John Greenwood, Don Yenko and Bob Johnson at Daytona, Sebring and more with the other famous "Stars & Stripe" #48, #49, #50 Corvettes. See the cover of Lugvigsen's 1973 book: "Corvette: America's Star Spangled Sports Car". That was my first hard cover and may have been the first hard cover devoted to Corvettes 1953-1973 and their history and development.

 
 

These driveable chassis restorations by Kevin Mackay's Corvette Repair shop are really great for examining all the modifications made for racing.
 
 

 
 

Above: the Aluminum radiator and the oil cooler. All available from Chevrolet if you had the part numbers.
 
 

 
 

Above: the ZL-1, typical L-88 air cleaner, tube headers and Red plug wires. (Kevin has the market cornered on the latter.)
 
 

 
 

Above: my kinda Hookers.
 
 

 
 

Above: dual TI amps in the passengers side dash/glove box vicinity. Upon failure: unhook left side and hook up right side.
 
 

 
 

Above: the stock power brake booster with a non standard dual cicuit master cylinder. I'll have to ask Kevin the function of those two short brake lines soldered (?) to the reservoir cap.
 
 

 
 

Above: the roll cage and rear driveline.
 
 

 
 

Above: the fuel cell and below: the fuel pump and filter.
 
 

 
 

While examing this racer, I ran into my legal team: B.Taylor, (my wife Debbie) and J. Whaley. The Virginia Walkers were exposed by these Consiglieri C1-C2-C3 owners.
