Long Island Corvette Owners Association at a tech. session at JTM Motorsports in Deer Park, LI. They have quite a few rare vettes. The white one with the blue nose is an original 59, which competed at Le Mans, France I believe in 1960 , and is being restored. The "Purple People Eater" looks beautiful, however I don't know whether it's original.

Wow great looking cars! For whatever reason I mistakenly thought JTM only specialized in later LT and LS cars.

When you say "great looking cars" you are referring to my 59 in the first photo. LOL. Seriously though, you are correct they mainly deal with the newer vettes yet have quite a few C1, 2, and 3s in their shop. Nice guys who do nice work.

Very cool way to spend a day.

I do agree, the coolest car in that first photo is the '59.

The silver 1961 and red 1962 both appear to be equipped with the factory 24 Gallon Fuel Tank. A very rare option. The white Camoradi car is a 1960 model and was campaigned by Lucky Casner and competed at LeMans with three other 1960's campaigned by Briggs Cunningham.

Thanks for the great pictures!

Good catch, Rick, regarding the big tank on the red car! I missed that one.
