This former SCCA racer began its life as a 1964 tuxedo black coupe with a silver interior, and the original seats are still available. Originally equipped with a 327 engine, the car underwent at least one repaint to a metalflake finish before being sold in 1971. The original engine was replaced with a small block Chevy 350 (approximately 380 bhp on the dyno, top speed of 160 mph) along with a new Holley carburetor. It was rebuilt to meet SCCA race car specifications, featuring flares, removed headlights, and a hugger orange paint job. The car raced in the SCCA and Midwest council during 1972 and 1973, with logbooks available upon purchase. It was sold again in 1974 and raced as the Yellow #80 Corvette starting in 1975, with logbooks from that period included.
Subsequently, the Corvette was sold to Jeff Dodge, a highly regarded builder and restorer of race cars, known for his work on iconic vehicles such as the GT40p1046 and Shelby AC Cobras. Although not a racer himself, his expertise is well-respected.
In 2014, the current owner purchased the car from Jeff Dodge and undertook a comprehensive rebuild, aiming to adhere closely to the original racing specifications. The small block Chevy was refurbished with a new carburetor and broken in by Lon McPherson, a reputable engine builder. The car was stripped to its chassis, and all components were powder-coated gray. A new fuel cell was created with a cage and fuel cap sourced from a jet airplane. The original clutch was replaced with a NASCAR-style clutch, and a new magnesium alloy bell housing was installed, along with a 4-speed manual Rock Crusher gearbox. The front and rear spring leaf suspensions were completely refurbished, and the rear end was replaced. Le Mans-style headlight cans were added, and air ducts were incorporated to vent the front brakes using the imprints of the twin gills behind the front wheels. The car was repainted in period-specific Ermine white with a blue stripe and orange trim, and it now features bias-ply Good Year Blue Streak tires on dark bronze Torque II wheels with slotted rotors and 4-piston brakes.
The car is equipped with a new full roll cage and a lightweight tube frame, weighing approximately 2600 lbs. It includes a new 5-point fire suppression system and a fuel shut-off switch for enhanced safety.
During the 2019 season, the car was lightly raced and meticulously maintained by the current owner in the VSCDA, with logbooks available. It is currently in Concours d’Elegance condition. All extras and previous parts from the recent rebuild are included in the purchase price.
