I bought it from Tommy, through a friend and will be restoring it back to life...

[RussMcB]

That's awesome. Look forward to seeing the end results. Will you share pictures as you start the restoration? Thanks.

[Blue Flame Restorations]

Yep

Brett,

How about some "before" pics?

[Bearly Flying]

So it emulates the ZR-1 aerodynamics and the LT 5 torque. Is it a ZR-1 or an LT5? or does it just emulate it?

Standard 1986 Corvette. Hand widened doors and rear end. Junior Johnson torquey SBC with around 750hp.

It's always great to see pieces of history preserved/restored. Nice project!

The car was yellow and evolved over time, eventually running IMSA/GTO. It was white when entered at Sebring in its final race.

Morrison-Cook Flying Tigers livery

I will most likely restore it to the yellow livery.
