that is the Z06 that was raced by Alvin Forsyth Chevrolet
Forsyth was a Chevy dealer from the Pittsburgh area and was in the Steel Cities region of the SCCA along with Gulf Oil’s Grady Davis and Don Yenko The Yenko/Gulf Oil Corvette Racing team had two new 1963 Z06 Corvettes , one blue one white. Grady drove the blue one on the street sometimes but it was also raced (attached a pic with PA licence plate) all 3 of these Z06 Corvettes have been found and restored here is the story on the Alvin Forsyth Chevrolet Z06 #81 https://www.corvetteblogger.com/2013...-corvette-z06/ |
Both of those cars have 2 bar knock offs, do you know the date of the event?
|
Car is owned by Larry Sachs in New York. Larry has owned it for quite a while now.

In the original 2 photos the #81 Forsyth car appears to have a radio antenna installed on the roof .....I have not seen this on many of the Z06 race cars....was this a common modification?
|
something else crazy about the #81, although it was ordered as a race car it has power windows.
as an aside The 63 Z06 race car with the front clip knocked off that Dave, Guy, and I pulled out of a Colorado barn a few years ago also had power windows... power windows in ordered race cars? |

maybe an easier way to pass water etc. to driver on pit stops? easier for driver to communicate to pit crew on stops? |
Easier to pick up time slips at the drag strip. Delmo Johnson liked to listen to the radio in his ZO6 Corvette while warming up pre-race at Sebring.
