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..

My vote's got to go to Terry Sherrill. As Alan Reinhart would say, that car would peg the cool-o-meter.

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

Who / where is the car running now? I'd like to see it again.

Yep, Tony's car was a bad ride also

The ADCO corvette is owned and run by Jimmy Bridges now. It is bad quick. I believe that he has run both B and C with it. I would like to see a in car video of that car..

Not a Super Stocker but, one to remember would be the old Ault & James car.

Jimmy set the SS/C record last year at the Bowling Green points race. It was 95 degrees, with around 95-98% humidity, and the barometer was in the low 29" range at best.

X3 on these 3,
To add to what Gary W suggested, I'd include Larry Kopp's 61-62 "Gumout" D/MP Vette as well!
Thanks for the Pic's Joe!

Alright, I am surely biased!
Here are some pics of MY favorite super stock vette.....
.... oh, by the way, these are pics of the same car (different paint)
..... and.... MAN, was it FUN to drive!

(here is when chuckie wright owned it in the 70's)

(after we bought it from chuckie)

(Indy 91 - won etown nationals that year)

Jimmy still has the Corvette. He's a regular at the Bowling Green combo races as well as some of the closer division races and national events. I talked to Jimmy a week or two ago, I don't think he has any plans to sell it or hang up his helmet and wrenches any time soon. He went 4-5 rounds in it at St. Louis last year, including a win over Dan Fletcher.

Tony Rhodes still has his black 67 Corvette. I doubt we'll see it at the track again, as Tony was pretty adamant about it being parked when the 67 L-88 was removed from the guide. That's a damned shame, it's a beautiful car and it was seriously fast.

.... my favorite SS vette (cont.)..

After a huge wheelstand mishap at the edgewater wcs, the car was painted orange...
(ps... won the dutch classic 4 months after rebuild)...
