Default Re: 1959 Fuelie Corvette "Purple People Eater"

Tero Corvette was a very popular Corvette builder in the Chicago area back in the 60’s and 70’s. They built and sponsored my old ’64 vintage racer that won June Sprints twice in the late 60’s. I have some old pictures of the ’68 that Bill Morrison raced that has their name on the side of it, also. These pictures are also in the new L88 book.
Most of the Chicago racers would buy salvaged Corvettes that were theft recoveries and turn them into race cars.
