Normally it occurs on public roadways but when we go to Joliet the whole cruise takes place on property. We get to cross the street and do a few laps on the Chicagoland Speedway circle track. In order to get onto the track you have to pass through a tunnel. You better believe everybody gets on the throttle when they go through that tunnel! K |
I bet a lot of people were unaware that many tanks were powered by radial engines and they did a great job as well.

I just recently went flying with the guys in that very same airplane last year and repeated it from a flight in 1974 which was my first ever airplane ride and what started it all. Great airplane.

This is what Barris started with: 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III. There were four cars built for the film in six weeks. Three were used as stunt mules, the fourth for closeups. The stunt mules were destroyed during production, while the fourth is now in a private collection. The movie is currently on Netflix |

The lower body paint stripe was standard on the 1968 GS 400 though you rarely ever see them. |

Bill S (olredalert):
I am absolutely amazed as to how many ultra rare Corvettes you have come in contact with. I think I found one for which you had no involvement. See next post. |

----Lee,,,While I don't have any direct contact with this ZL1 I do know well all but two of its former owners. Also know most of its history from when Wayne Walker found the car. At one point there was a south Florida owner who also owned a 1/2 ton 72ish Chevy pickup that also had a ZL1 engine. It had a 100 or more gallon gas tank in the bed full of 110 octane fuel. Anther friend from Coral Gables who owns a beautiful 67 L88 Corvette drove it to Bloomington Gold from Fl. with a friend of his driving the truck with the needed 110. A great Corvette guy, Roger Judski, from central Florida now owns the car......Bill S
