Some of the old racecars are the greatest finds. There was an other "Mighty Mouse" I know about, have a pic hear some where, will post when I find it.

ORIGLS6,

Yes, when raced as "Mighty Mouse", she set 22 additional world records. Somebody needs to buy this most certain '68 Z28 racecar. I would jump on it if I didn't have too many irons in the fire at this time. It is history waiting to be discovered. /ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

Ken, is the Mighty Mouse you're talking about your car's 70s persona as per this pic?

The ebay one could be an interesting rainy day project car. Lots of rainy days here.

Thanks GarnetM20, I should have realized I could have posted from the Z site. This was at the 72 or 73 SpringNationals, Bristol, TN. Lloyd Kerchoff bought "Little Hoss" from Fred Gibb, and named her "Mighty Mouse". He kept the original motor until 1978, it set at least 33 world records from 1967-1978.

The old racecar livery is the last stomping grounds for old musclecars. I saved "Little Hoss" from being cut up and mutilated more by other drag racers who didn't care who owned the car previously. /ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif
