As it sat last night, the ex-Mansel & Minga Corvette, then for Danny Guidry from Lafayette, La. It is headed to a chassis shop to be fitted with dual turbos.

Went to the Musclecar and Corvette Nationals in Chicago yesterday and there was a 62 Vette old modified car there in the barn find section that had Truppi Kling on the quarter panel.Will try to get a picture of it posted.

Super Pro car but a nice piece of Corvette history just the same. To best of knowledge; last time pulled out and ran was mid 90's on an exhibition run. Blown, injected, zoomy headers and seem to recall a lenco. Took these picts a few years ago. The sound of this car is etched in my brain for eternity lol. Note the picture on wall above the roof line of the car; that's from the exhibition run spoken of.

Just ran across the article on that Vette in the April 1975 issue of Chevy Power a couple of weeks ago.
Did you catch who the owner is? I forwarded this to Darwin Doll and he would like to see this car at the York reunion next year.
