Best Corvette SS Of All Time?

I always thought this was a cool car.And that was way I even thought I'd be racing a 6 cylinder car.

have a recollection of Bernie Agaman saying at one point he was told a solid rear axle would be acceptable.......but it was not once he had the car.....not sure if he actually built the car with one and had to change it.....it's just a memory of a conversation with Bernie....We were friends back then....

Saw Earl Britt run the "Pizza Man" 'Vette at Marion, SD many times. It ran well!

I run a spool in my '72 454 car. Tom's Differential setup with Richmond pro-gears, 3.5-inch half shafts and 1480 u-joints. I'm under my car after almost every pass taking a look. Still alive too last time I checked.

Many great Vettes on this post. How about Leon Miranian's Vette, has set, lost and reset national records in everything from SS/DA to SS/FA. He has campaigned this car since about 1975. Has had sucsess at opens and divisional races but no national event wins YET! John Armstrong's car is crazy fast, back about 2004 when he was at the Dutch running against the hemi cars SS/AA he left even against Charlie Wescott but the car wiggled a bit out past 60 ft., the car settled down but then he was a 1/2 car back and it just stayed that way thru the lights. This was gonna be a real close one. I was announcing that one, that run like many others sticks with me. That was a good one. Nice photos on this post also.

Butch's 'Vette is, I believe, Kenny Schindler's now. Still painted like Butch's too, last time I saw it.

Lynn, try using the number of the post. Page settings are not the same, for example this thread is only two pages for me.
