Number 71 was accepted into Registry of Corvette Race Cars
Number 71 is accepted into the Registry of Corvette Race Cars (RCRC) as a period-correct race car. This historic racing machine is well documented, and it has a racing history of over forty years. The original log books have been preserved and it has a clear owner title. It also has Rochester Fuel Injection, period stamped metal rockers, and a wet oiling system.
It was constructed in 1964
The Corvette race car registry was established in 1964. It is a list of Corvettes that were built for racing. Since their inception, the cars have experienced significant modifications. The hood's simulated intakes were removed, the center bar in rear windows was replaced by a scoop, while the parking brake was moved to the center console. Additionally, the engine was redesigned. The resulting Solid Lifter L88 427/430 is one of the most beloved engines ever created. Moreover, the big tank option replaced the standard gas tank with a 36.5 US gal tank, a size more appropriate for racing. Convertibles were not able to use the large fuel tank. However, the Z06 option was eventually made available.
It has a period racing-inspired interior
The period racing interior is an integral part of a Corvette's racing history. A period Corvette will have a SCCA registration 031-213 in its log book and be Gold Medallion certified as an period race car. It has won the Monterey Historic races several times and was accepted into the Registry of Corvette Race Cars.
It was built to bare minimum
There are two reasons why the Corvette racing car registry was created at a minimum. First, the rules of Corvette racing require the cars to be directly derived from road-going versions. Secondly, GM has stopped using the DOHC DOHC V8 flat-crank in road cars. Many people thought the car was Cadillac’s racing version.
