In the racing world, the Corvette has changed history in many ways for years, and it continues to do so to this day. In the mid sixties, when the Chevrolet boys introduced the L88, the whole scene changed. As we prepare for the July 4th holiday and celebrate our independance, what could be more American than a Red, White and Blue L88 Corvette?
We are proud to announce that Pennsylvania collector Irwin Kroiz will be joining the Nickey Chicago Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals with an incredible piece of Corvette Racing history. His #3 Sunray/DX 1968 Corvette L88, restored by Kevin Mackay and the Corvette Repair, Inc. crew, is one of three cars campaigned in 1968 by the Sunray/DX Oil Company. The story behind these three cars includes names like Don Yenko, Dave Morgan and Hap Sharp, to name a few.
For the complete story on this historical car, plan on spending some time at the show talking to the owner and viewing it in person. Also, be sure to look for noted author Dr. Pete Gimenez who will be joining us with his fantastic book; "Corvette Racing Legends, The Story of the L88 Option Package". The Sunray/DX Corvettes are covered in detail in this book, along with many other significant Corvettes. www.corvetteracinglegends.com
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Irwin Kroiz for showing this amazing car and sharing its history and also to Dr. Pete Gimenez for joining us with his must have Corvette Racing Legends book.
