Default A few C3 racer pictures

If you're like me, you can't get tired of pictures like these. Provided by my nephew on the other side of the pond.

Please stop showing these pictures, Its killing me , Every time I look in my garage I keep thinking there is room for a 3rd corvette . I really want a track only C3 racer every time I see pictures like this.

What saves me, I live in Canada. These are impossible to find /see up here.

Love the C3 racers.

Beautiful pictures. The Blue Corvette is perhaps the most interesting 69 Corvette of all time, the Henri Greder Le Mans L88/ZL1. This car competed at LeMans and was the yellow L88 racer seen in the 1970 movie LeMans with Steve McQueen. She then raced thru 1975 in a variety of paint schemes before finally retiring. This single car raced in 6 LeMans races and is a hugely historic Corvette. The “Craven A” paint scheme on the t-top car is also a Greder paint scheme for this car. Years ago I was building a replica of the car, but it was sold to friends in France and hopefully will run soon. For those that don’t know, the French Corvette Club is simply awesome, and the place is a great place to visit. Perhaps a group of us from the states can attend the LeMans Classic 2018 and see them run?

Oh, and she is my avatar...
