The auction ends Sunday night at 10:00 EST and I have 155 watchers! It's up to $53,100---inching up to the reserve! This car will make a nice addition to someones collection after it is restored. It's a nice dependable driver as is.

Re: 1960 Corvette 1 of 119 Fuel Inj Big Brake Ex-R
I live in Decatur Il, but I just moved here and dont know anyone who would have been a racer at the time. I did grow up in Clinton Il about 20 miles away and have a friend who may know some background though he was a drag race guy. If it was on the street it would have gotten some attention.

Re: 1960 Corvette 1 of 119 Fuel Inj Big Brake Ex-R
Thanks for your post. My dad bought a very fast new 59 Corvette and owned it till 62. He street raced and occasionally drag raced it (14.08@104MPH) around Decatur. He doesn't remember ever seeing this car out running around. Couple that with the fact the car had no heater and it tells me the car was raced from day one. None of the area auto-crossers remember the car though. Thanks again for your post.
