Default Re: Shirley Muldowney 'Early Stocker'

Then in late-1963..... they sold the 'red' 1962 Corvette (Street/Strip Car).

And purchased another 1963 Corvette..........this time a 'black' 1963 Corvette 'Split-Window Coupe'...327/300 HP.
which they turned into a ........'Street/Strip Car' that would also run in 'C/SP'.

Purchased from Mohawk Chevrolet with;
* L-75.................327/300 HP
* 4-Speed..........M-20 'Close-Ratio' Transmission
* 4.11 Gears..... w/ Posi-Traction

* Added..........4.56 Gears, Headers and Slicks. Was Street-Driven and Raced in 'C/SP' during late-1963.

Ran 13.40's @ 105 MPH

* The 1963 'C/SP' National Record was......13.24 @ 103.38 MPH

* Held by a 1957 Corvette.....283/283 HP....'Fuel Injection'

Fonda Speedway (Dragstrip) archives claims that Shirley won '28 Class Trophies' for 1963.

Including all.........'7'.........'Monthly Powder Puff Events'.

Looks to be a Coco-Cola or Pepsi Cola Trophy 'Year End Award'.
Awarded to the 'driver' with the most Class Trophy wins.
