This 1968 Chevrolet Corvette race car features Greenwood-style
widened bodywork and a red, white, and blue livery in tribute to
the 1970s Greenwood Corvettes which won the 1975 SCCA Championship
and raced in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Power is from an all-aluminum
509ci big-block Chevrolet V8 paired with a Jerico four-speed
gearbox and a 3.55 Positraction rear end. The interior features a
Butler racing seat, Hurst shifter, a Greenwood Corvettes-fabricated
dashboard, and a fire-suppression system. The car had already been
partially modified for racing when purchased out of California in
2000 by the seller, noted racer Tommy Thompson. After bringing the
car to Arizona, the seller commissioned Chris Harrison to rebuild
the chassis for vintage A Production and IMSA racing with VARA,
HSRW, SVRA, and HSR West. Lance Smith later performed the widebody
conversion and applied a new livery inspired by John Greenwood's
IMSA GT racer. The car was invited to both the 2014 Sonoma
Historics and the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, where it was
on the pole for the IMSA group race. This C3 race car is now
offered on a bill of sale in Phoenix, Arizona. This listing is live
