Have turned up <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">possible</span></span> previous ownership history and vintage pics of car at work at Riverside. The people will be out of town racing the next week or so but want to share what they have when they return. until then...

Great find, Jim is the guy to speak with. Since the car was apparently raced in the area you found it, information should be available. Does it have a Madellian certifying it as a vintage race car? If not you can work towards that.

I have a picture of what looks to be another car, but with the same number. Maybe it is a different year car?

----Yup, Daniel,,,That coupe either is a 67 or has 67 front fender scoops, and I think I can just barely make out the center back-up light, as well as the hood. All can and have been changed on mid-year Corvettes since forever! Love those fender flares. Cool Vette!!!......Bill S

Darrell,
Did you only work at Harry Mann in 66? My grandfather worked at Harry Mann as a used car salesman in the 60's and early 70's. I wonder if you remember him (Robert Hutcheson)?

The b&W photo is a 67 front clip at the minimum.

Andy Porterfield raced Harry Mann sponsored 'Vettes for years and may be who ran this car too, not Andy Anderson?.

I never noticed before, but maybe that is what the AP stands for on both cars. I talked to Andy a few years ago. He has a racing brake busness (http://www.porterfield-brakes.com/). He may know if it was his car or not and may also have pictures.

The AP is for the production class that the car will compete in. With the Corvettes I think the small block cars raced under B producton, and the big blocks raced under A production class. Based on engine sze I believe. This car was was a big block as the one pictured so they would both be A Production cars. I have sent pics to Andy Porterfield. Lives nearby, so we will see.

Sir, You may already be aware, but H & R Dyno was located in near-by Covina, CA. They were on San Bernardino Road at the NE corner of Irwindale Ave. They overhauled the 302 in a 69 Z that I bought local in Covina in 1978. H & R left that location in the early 80's. Not sure if they closed shop altogether, or moved. Never heard that name again until now. Regards... 302Z
