NOT SURE IF THIS ONE IS A TT..MY GUESS IS THAT IT IS A STROKER 368 OR 415 LPE LSV. BUT THE COLOR IS SURE GREAT!!!

THIS IS THE ONE....AN LPE KOTH ZR-1 IN THE CORRECT COLOR...BLACK.

ONE BAD AZZ VETTE...IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS... OR DOES IT

WELL IF YOU SAW THE CALLAWAY TT POST THEN YOU MIGHT THINK SO...

BUT GUESS WHAT...???...LPE MADE SOME TT'S AS WELL!!!! IMAGINE THAT....

We parked next to him at BG, that car is veryy clean and almost has that sleaper affect until it hit the track at Beech Bend.......fastttt!

There was another guy parked next to us at the hotel with a LPE aerobody/monster LPE/415 that was red in color, I think his name was Will(not sure). He said the car was origanaly built for a close racing buddy of John L., the car was beautiful and cracked off several low 11 second passes of drag radials.....not to bad for a car he just purchased, I think he could do some easy 10 second passes after he learns the car some more!

you are correct, the LSV 390 is a unique animal originally built for larry merow (rest in peace). the car is basically a slightly different stroke custom crank with the 4 bores, ti rods, and all the fancy porting, big valves, ect.. car makes good power and I'm very proud to own it.

frank urbinati has the "brother car" which is also an LSV 385

not sure how many were made, but GM made LPE stop using the LSV emblem on the back due to the bow tie, so they are very rare.

it's a nice ride!!

Ronny Woods ran a few 11second passes at BG this year with his LPE385 Zr1(The Undertaker), I'm not sure but I think his has the LSV badge or not........ anyway not too bad for an LPE385 conversion that was done almost ten years ago.
