I'm curious who owns the Corvette SS racer. Is it in museum ownership or private? Likewise, who owns the 1960 Sting Ray racer?

I believe the '57 car is owned by IMS museum - gifted in the late '60s to them by GM.

GM owns the '59 car and is in the heritage collection.

It's at IMS. I saw it run at the vintage race. They pulled it out of the museum for us. WAY cool !

Here is it in the museum:



Here it is parked in a garage at the first year of the vintage races. I never got to see it run though:

A short history: In 1956, GM made three Corvette SR-2 racers, the first (#1522) raced in the early 56 and then updatedfor the 1957 Sebring race the following Feb. The second SR-2 was chassis #1532, started out with the high fin and the extended nose and the third was a Harlow Curtis look-a-like. The Corvette XP-64, later know as the Corvette SS, was developed by Duntov as race car with the FI and made 307 hp and started in July of 56 and ready for Sebring the following February. GM built a second SS as a show car for 1957 show circuit. The 1959 Stingray Racer started from a SS chassis and was restyled by Bill Mitchel
