True Class War: Pros, Cons, and Why

[Alan Roehrich]

Dwight, we sat down with Jimmy yesterday, and he didn't mention who Lonnie bought the car from, and I'm not sure he ever has. He may not know.

Mike Robinson was associated with two F/Gas Corvettes, Jimmy's car, and a 1963 Corvette. Around the same time. We don't know where that car went, either.

As far as the 1967 L-88 Corvette being removed from the guide goes, that's a matter of politics and selective enforcement on the part of NHRA. Depending upon who you talk to, Chevrolet produced and sold at least 36 of the 67 Corvette L-88 cars to the general public, complete and running. According to some sources, beyond that, a couple of dozen, give or take, were "provided" to racers in various forms of racing. Some say there's also the two versions originally available, and in different numbers, the L-88, and the L-88 with the L-89 aluminum head option. I don't even claim to know which sources are correct. Now 50 years after the fact, I'm not sure anyone can say with absolute certainty. But the cars were legal for more than 20 years, before NHRA decided that they were not. Sort of similar to the 69 ZL-1 Camaro. I'm sure that with your vast amount of knowledge and infoprmation collected, you can provide several examples of cars being in the guide when less than 50 were produced. It sure didn't seem to matter between 2008 and 2016, did it?
