Race Week Special: First Gen Corvette Race Car
Snapped this pic at last year’s vintage races here in Austin. Don’t miss this weekend’s vintage races at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas. Not crowded, full access to pits and park at the track.

1962 C5 Corvette Custom
The interior identifies this as a C5 (fifth generation) Corvette, built from 1996 to 2004. Styled as a 1962 Corvette. Nice ride. At Motoreum, linked at right.
Modified 1969 Corvette Stingray with 427 in N. Austin
At Custom Car Crafters, link at right.
Perfect C3 Corvette with 454 Big Block in Lakeway
My opinion of these cars has changed, especially the chrome bumper early models ending in ’72. This one has the right wheels and tires making it just right. The big engine is stifled by ’70s smog
C3 Corvette at Cedar Park Goodwill
Likely a 1982 Corvette with 350 cu.in V8. Warming to these cars but has some very nice lines, esp. around the wheels.
Red 427 C3 Corvette at Custom Car Crafters in N. Austin
Flared fenders suggest it is highly modified. The 427 engine is very desirable. See the Porsche on the rotisserie.
