    Sebring '63!

    ...great cover photo on the Winter 2024 Corvette restorer. I count 5 SWCs, all of which are likely Z-06.

    It looks like the lead car in the photo is wearing #7, which would be Alan Green's Z-06 driven by the late Jerry Grant who graduated from my own Queen Anne High School in Seattle about ten years ahead of me.

    Jerry's co-driver was Don Campbell who was the salesman who wrote up the special order for my 340 HP, 3.08 geared SWC about a month before the race.

    Ah, the memories!

    So Vinnie, in case I missed a photo credit, do you know who the photographer was?

      I don't recall that Foyt drove a Z-06 at Sebring '63.
