(You'd REALLY think the guy would state what rear it has: I.R.S., 9" Ford, Dana 60, etc...)
Here's another fast C3, this one clearly stating it's equipped with a Dana-60 housing:

Well - for certain classes - the 10.5W tire is the widest tire allowed..

I think in most of those 'certain classes' that has a maximum tire width (NHRA Stck, Super Stock, etc.), they also mandate you run a OEM-style (read I.R.S.) rear-end.
Picture is 'gone' now; musta been sold. Wish I could recall more about that particular Vette, tho; you've got me curious now...
Here's a link, showing pix taken at the U.S. 30 (York, Pa.) Dragway re-union last weekend, showing a pair of very old C3 funny cars on display.....
