Grand Sport Corvette

[lowmile]

This is some old footage of Jon Thon's Grand Sport Corvette and his Blue/Black vinyl top 66 375hp M22 Chevelle drag racing at Albany Ga. The m22 in the 1966 Chevelle was a rare bird in its own right. I believe he took the TRACO 427 engine out of the GS and put in the Chevelle in the early 70's Jon McGee, my dads dirt track racing partner, said Jon Thorn took him for a ride after the engine swap into the Chevelle. He passed a log truck cresting a hill at about 120 mph. Jon M said he was done riding with him after that.
