1965 Coupe Vintage Racer
Now I know where Jim Glass puts all those Corvette parts. Jim always has a nice selection of Corvettes in his Kingston, NY shop.
Could there be a prettier sight than the hills of Litchfield county and old Corvettes? Look like they may be doing a wheel alignment.
Note the clips above and below the window to prevent a blow out. These are all hand made and differ on each race car. Below are two bars to keep the rear window from coming out.
I once asked Kevin Mackay how he knew he has found Roger Penske's 1966 Sunoco L88 since it was a wreck so to speak. And he said the unique blow out clips were shown in the 1966 Corvette News in a photo and the wreck had them.
I must remember to tell Jim that horn button is not authentic for his model year, and he may go faster with the korrect one.
Again my lousy Sony camera with the non ergonomic white balance button screwed up the color in this shot.
After practice on Saturday. What weather, humidity and high octance fumes. It was only $8.85 a gallon for 112 octance.
Suited up in the shade and getting ready to stage for the last race.
Waiting in the shade for the last race.
Practice on Friday in the esses with an original special factory light weight Jaguar that ran like stink. Too bad a Grand Sport was not on hand.
Jim at work. Gawd, I'll bet he hates work too.
