Re: OLD RACERS
------Cool Corvette!!! Appears to be a 64. Someone was using thier head when they thought to block off the grill cavity as that was a major source of lift on the big end. Those things didnt steer real well at all when the grill opening was open and the front end was high as was the fad at that time........Bill S
