Rare car. The claim is 1 of 7 and I can believe that.

Never seen a 2nd Gen Z28 in this color combo. It's a 72.

# 7 is interesting. Wonder who this was. We had a T Clary at Bowling Green last weekend too... ?
AND the stock "appearing" tires are also FAR from what came on these originally. Between them being purpose built drag race tires and a track prep that will pull your shoes off, that is how these cars pull front wheels and run in the 9's.

I'm not a Red fan, but there was one on the delivery floor at the Museum last weekend and I have to admit, the color is "eye catching" to say the least. It's what we old guys would have called candy apple, but the exact name escapes me now. Anyway, it does stand out in a crowd.

About 10 years ago I was thinking about "what's next" with my race program and toyed with moving over to the FAST category.

I was going 9.80's at the time and felt like I had some room to "give away" some performance with a milder cam, exhaust manifolds and returning to the steel hood and bumper.

My car came with H70-15 Goodyear radials on an 8" Corvette rally wheel. With the long overhang at the rear I felt like I could probably be pretty competitive.

Sadly - I think I've missed my window of opportunity.

Just noticed the cars were staged in "reverse chronological order" for the photo;

From the right:

Pennington's black '69
Orange '68
'67
'66
'65
and then a silver '69
and Pennington's orange '69

You are wrong, take a good up close look at them, yes they are worn out, but they are either the kelsey Goodyears or the Coker firestones. The Pennington group has always ran the firestones, I hear. They are a little softer on a durometer gauge.

Wow
 

thats one of the nicest 66 67 novas i have ever seen

If he had watched the video he would have seen this !!!

The Firestones are shaved to the warning bars, then they do a burnout with 5-6lbs in the tire till the tread pattern is gone.
If you watch the launch when they leave, neither car even 'squeals" a tire. The Pennington group know their Vette stuff. Even running "pure stock", their L88 has been the car to beat for years, the wife drives...

----Good one, Lee!!!.....Bill S

----Nice 66, but a personal bugaboo would be the redlines as stock 66's just don't look right to me unless wearing either goldlines or 5/8 whitewalls.....Bill S

My words exactly Bill...

65 & 66 were Goldlines along with WWs. 1967 is the first year Redlines became available - no more Goldlines.
