This Corvette was Rescued together with its 63 B
production Sister Corvette (now Sold)
While it Looks like a 1966, It has been documented by the
original Builder as a 1963 Split window Coupe. It was a Day Two
build, that was converted into a race car in 1964.
Because of the lack of visibility with the split windows, they
installed the one piece 64 Rear window and frame
which was a common modification during the era. The
original 63 Split windows are complete and in excellent condition.
They are even wrapped in the original corrugated cardboard
from that 1964 build.
Also Included is a unique seat made for the Car by Corvette Legend, John Greenwood. Reported to be his first manufactured seat.
After the revelation that the car was indeed a 1963, the year was verified by The hidden Frame VIN, the 63 specific Windshield frame, & the unique 1963 only Roof line & visible post cuts.
Built & campaigned by Dick Vreeland & John Caruso ( Husband of Lynn St James , of Indy 500 fame). It was eventually purchased John Thorne in the late 60's.
Jon Thorne , was the owner of the Penske/ Wintersteen Grand Sport #2 Corvette roadster at that time. Which was also the first developed L88 Corvette. That Grand Sport now resides in the Simione collection and was purchased for over 5 million dollars.
Mr Thorne hired Dick Vreeland to crew & coach him on the new car, and Dick lived with Jon in Valdosta Georgia. During that time, they Molded (splashed) the Fender flares from that very Grand Sport for this car. Mr Vreeland said they would regularly cannibalize parts off the Grand Sport, as no one new the true value of that car at that time
( If you google Jon Thorne Grand Sport you will find video of him taking on all comers in GS #2 @ US91 Drag strip In Albany Ga).
Later during the cars history, a 1966 nose was put on in late 60's early 70's, From that point on it was then raced as a 1966 Model by Thorne. There is still a battle scar on the left front corner from Jon punting a Ferrari @ Sebring in 1972
The car was now known as the 66 FIA Car.
Vic Shin Purchased the car in the early 80's in its last "as raced" condition by Thorne and promptly brought it to the noted fabrication shop of Robinson Racing Enterprises for restoration.
