There's a "companion" to it, a black one owned by Tony Rhodes Sr., that has been parked since the two of them were taken out of Super Stock.

Two of the nastiest Super Stock Corvettes around.

Alan, I to know where that vette is now and then, you are right it is BAD! But, was the black one, which I believe ran very little, was out of Florida? If so where is it currently? Thanks. That car was ahead of its time.

WOW there all Great. Love the vette. But I do have a soft spot for Ralph’s. Armstrong’s cars are just really FAST wow.

Nope. The black one belongs to Tony Rhodes, right here in Murfreesboro TN. His son, Tony Jr, drives a Chevy II. Tony Sr. parked the car when they took the 67 L-88 out of the guide.

i remember it when he ran at Huntsville and Atlanta back in the days...I wondered whatever happend to it........

I would say Tony, and Bridges are my favorites. I've been watching Jimmy race since i was 10yrs of age.......He has told me some funny stories over the years...

I'm like Jeff Jewell, we had some bad ***** vettes in our garage at one time.

Far too many to list, but two of my favorites in Div. 3 is Charlie Bohannon and Don OMalley. Both plenty fast.............

Alan, thanks for the clarification, it has been a while! LOL....You said it was black did it have some anodized wheels on it? I saw it from afar and it looked great! I bet if it is not back in the books someone could push to have it reinstated. Do you have any pictures of the car?

Pictures of Tony's car have been posted here before. I don't have any.

I doubt we'll see the 67 L-88 back in the books. While the new rules technically allow it, since you don't have to actually build ANY cars, and they actually built at least 36 of them, I doubt they'll ever let the 67 L-88 back in..

plus our old Vette is back out running in SS/HA
