Chevrolet Corvette Drag Racer Auction
Published September 18th, 2008
The Chevy is being offered at the Mecum October St. Charles auction October 3 – 5.
This 1969 Corvette has a full history, reaching back to the barnstorming days when it was known, in a previous incarnation as “Goldfinger.” The car was re-bodied from the original Ford Anglia to the 1969 Corvette. Steve Korney then raced it across the country in the Stone Woods & Cooke livery, turning a career best time of 8.20 and 172 mph – burning gas – and 6.70/220 on nitro. It was a “performer” in every sense of the word!
