Hi, I am in the process of building a Clone 1963 Mickey Thompson Z06 Corvette. I have been searching for as much data as I can , which would allow me build it as accurate as I can. So I am hoping that someone on this Forum may have some information on this car, or know someone that does. I will appreciate any type of information that I receive, thanks Rich (937) 999-9990

This may help. The #3 M/T Corvette was featured in the December 2015 issue of Hot Rod Magazine which is available on their website and the Sept/Oct 2016 issue of Vintage Motorsport Magazine which the back issue is available for purchase at the cost of $10.00 delivered.

Hi Guys, I am going to do the M/T, I Have a 1401445 Block (75-90), 427 crank etc. I am going to build as close to original as I can. I plan to use 6 lug spindles, truck rims, etc. The car had a 3 speed Grand National trans, which have not been able to locate. I have a Dearborn top loader from my "65" GTO, if I need to use it. Any way still gathering parts. Thanks again for your interest. Rich

Thanks I have the Magazine and many of the on-line articles as well. The problem is that most of the information is not very specific/detailed. Most of the pictures do not show in detail the full side of the car with the exhaust cut out or under the car to see the extent of the Aluminum modification that was made for the exhaust heat and a full picture of the 50 gallon tank. But is still fun researching the car and is original design,..ect. Thanks Rich
