Been out of racing for a long time but caught the racing bug again after taking the C7 ZO6 to the track a few times last year.

Found a car the wife and I both really liked and it was a 73 vette.
Has a small block 406 with a powerglide. Can't wait to get it to the track but won't be able to until next month. Supposedly it runs in the 9's.

Anyway here she is.......

 

That looks like a lot of fun

 

 

SWEET ! Let us know how she runs !

 

Will do on letting you know how it runs. Gonna be about a month before I can get to a track though.

 

That hood intake looks familiar for some reason......................

 

It does kinda look like that.

 

Put the chrome bumpers back on the back. That way guys in the crowd can lean over and tell people: "That is a 73, it is the only one with the chrome bumpers in the back and rubber bumper in the front" etc, etc.. Maybe touch off a bunch of history the guys can talk about.

 

Very NICE
Love the COLOR
ENJOY-Be Safe

here my Purple Altered

 

Beauty..and all business.
Love it!

 

Sweet altered!! Bet that thing hauls!!

 

Looks awesome and congrats!

I love the fact that your wife was/is part of the process. Must make it even more fun. Let us know how she does when you finally get it on the track.

 

Nice car. Do you plan on bracket racing or some kind of heads-up class?

 

Plan on just bracket racing for now.

 

That thing is beautiful. I saw it on Yellowbullet. Have you driven it yet? Anxious to hear how she does.

 

what an awesome car!!! love it!!

 

I've noticed that on other Corvette racers...chrome bumpers removed. What gives? Weight reduction? If it already runs in the 9's, I can't imagine those two bumpers are going to make a difference. I agree that they'd look good on the *** end again.

 

Finally made it to the track last sunday. I have to make 'licensing' passes so had to shut it down early. Even with shutting it down at around 1000feet it still went a 10.05. It will run in the 9's for sure.

I was hoping to have all my licensing passes done so I could make a full pass but the water pump quit working so had to load up early and come home. Turns out the problem was a bad electrical plug and I have that fixed and pump now works again.

Next race is the 24th-25th so will take it back out then. I will make a post and hopefully a vid of it running after that weekend.

 

Yes it is for weight reduction. Every little bit helps and it all adds up.

 

Nice car, saw it on-line awhile back. Love that it is a convertible, looks really good with the hardtop. My favorite rims (metal garbage can). Any chance of it being street able? Thanks for posting, Mark
