1966 red/red 425 roadster

[Jerry A.]

Does anyone remember a red/red 1966 425 horse convertible in the Cleveland parma Ohio area? In 1966/67 the car was equipped with mags and wide oval tires and raced. It was advertised/sold by Chizek Corvettes on Pearl Street in June of 67. I have info on the owner who purchased it from Chizek and am desperately trying to locate the original owner. Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Thank You, Jerry Antczak

I remember the Chizek Corvette name, and reputation, but here is a possibility, Corvette Cleveland is/was a big NCCC club in the cleveland area, and they are still active. You might go thru the NCCC website to find some of the current leadership who might put you in touch with some of the old-timers. Check the back of some old "Corvette news' magazines for names to contact in the area.
