[QUOTE="67HEAVEN, post: 36422, member: 659"] Sorry. I forgot. 196[B][U]6[/U][/B] Corvette COPO L-88, released for racing to Roger Penske. Picked up at the St. Louis factory by none other than Dick Guldstrand and [U]driven[/U]....yes, DRIVEN....from Missouri to Pennsylvania....in the winter....in a car with no heater or defroster. If you've never been around a real L-88, you won't fully comprehend what a feat that was. No heater/defroster. No choke. Pretty much a real race car with 12.5:1 compression requiring at least Sunoco 260/103 octane. The dead of winter. They gave him a blanket to keep him warm. Must have been a hell of a ride. This car went on to win at Daytona and Sebring....you know....[U]real[/U] racing. ;) God bless the 60s. :D [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/2lm5lzp.jpg[/IMG] Remember, this is a 196[B][U]6[/U][/B] COPO L-88, not a RPO (Regular Production Option).
