There are some people who truly live and breathe Corvettes. One of those people is Bill Braun, the Judging Chairman for the MCACN show. Bill and his wife Sue have owned numerous Corvettes over the years and he spends countless hours studying them.
When it comes to show time, Bill is usually far too busy to even consider showing one of his own Corvettes. For this show, we are happy to announce that Bill and Sue will be sharing a very significant car from their collection with all of us.
Any 1963 Split Window Coupe is desirable, but when it is a Zo6 Tanker with documented race history, well then you really have something. Bill and Sues Zo6 has been a designated race car for nearly all of its life. The car was raced in midwest SCCA events, at one point nearly every weekend, where the owner racked up numerous victories and surely had a lot of fun.
Bill knew about this car for nearly ten years before he was able to add it to his collection. Restored back to its original stock status, Bill showed the car over the next 19 years, earning an NCRS Top Flight award and a Gold Spinner. Over the years, Bill was able to contact previous owners and put together its extensive history. Armed with that information, he decided to return the rare mid-year to its 1965 era vintage race trim. With guidance from previous owner Pete Dock, along with a library of documents, photos and even old race footage, Bill and Sue were able to return this beauty to its former glory, right down to the last detail.
This Zo6 has only 32,000 original miles and it retains its original interior, undercarriage, and knock off wheels, which are documented on the original window sticker. This car has never had a frame-off restoration!
The Nickey Chicago Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals, Presented by Bill Stasek Chevrolet, is proud to host this fine Zo6. We are also extremely pleased to have Bill Braun as our Judging Chairman and his wife Sue as a key member of the MCACN staff.
