Small tribute to the FBI
 
1 Attachment(s)
So I'm washing the ZR-1 yesterday morning and noticed this small sticker in the lower passenger corner of the rear hatch glass. It's pretty cool and very subtle. I acquired this beast of a car from my Dad who still lives in the Chicago land area and had the car built by Haibeck.
I am originally from the Chicago suburbs so I'm going to leave the FBI sticker... hope you guys don't mind me "representing" in the Sarasota, FL area :cheers:

I recon they won't mind! The moniker was coined back in 07 or 08, FBI The Fast Boyz of Illinoiz. Since then several of the original "FBI" members have gone on to other parts of the world - including ME.
The moniker came into being, mostly because we (the Chicago area ZR-1 owners) often participated as a group as a club and needed a name to go by (Corvette clubs in the area would participate in drag racing, car shows, etc. and would we needed an "official" name under which to be associated.)

And, that is how the "FBI" came to be! There's still no officers, no dues, and only one rule: Have FUN with our Zs! Myself and -=Jeff=- Debur sort of assumed the unofficial role as event organizers for get togethers (pizza nites, shows, drag races, etc). But, it is a very loosely organized group; - mainly residing in the Chicago area (especially initially), but now scattered all across the country! All newcomers and/or associates are welcome!

Thanks for the info Paul. I think that is really cool... I remember my Dad telling me about some of those gatherings!

Hey there Jeff, he's doing great! He has a red '55 Chevy that is a really fun car and he also has a '67 Camaro that's been in the family since day 1. I know he's always up for a car show or cruise night, I'll tell him you say "hey!"
