58' Corvette Ex-NHRA Racer

JMcAndrew · #1 08-30-2006, 01:43 AM

After discussions with several people it was suggested to post here for some help on selling a 58' Corvette which was an ex-NHRA record holder and winner.

The car I have was driven in the early to mid 80's by Bob Brumbaugh in S/S E-modified. I was told it won at Indy in 83, 84 & 85 as well as held the national record for a few years. Pictures of the car are being sent to me when it raced and should have them in the next few weeks.

I bought the car to Pro-Street it, however after finding it had some racing history I would rather preserve its history and not modify the car and sell it to someone who has an interest in it for a collection or for vintage drag races. Are there people who I can contact who may have an interest? Any help would be appreciate. I can be reached at [email protected] or 301-908-8700...thanks in advance...

I just read the post over at S/S forum this morning...did Dave give you any leads/pictures? Any idea what division, or even better home track, he ran out of??

Yes, Dave had several photos from 83-87 which he will be sending me after the Nationals. It ran in Division 1, not sure of the home track as of yet.

Good luck Jodi,
You will find some good people here with good advice. The big # 9 REUNION is this Labor Day Weekend, so many of the members will be in transiet to and from Collingsville this next week. So don't get discouraged if you don't get a quick response.

Jim,

thank you for your help in pointing me in this direction, as you mentioned there are a lot of good people here and I am sure something will come of it....I am still hopeful you will be able to get some of the big brake parts out of the Green Bay stuff.....Jovi

Yep, remember the car. DIV-1 car. Ran many times at Maple Grove but maybe home track could have been Cecil County. If memory serves me it had a BB in it and ran A or B/MP. Color was bluish and grey maybe? Has been awhile.

If it came from Maple Grove, then I *might* have something with the car or the owner's name on it, as I have the original NHRA tech manual from the track, and it has lots of track mailings and stuff in it...

I have tracked down the gentlman who built it and raced it, and he is going to give me all the history, so the next question is, what is a car like this worth? As I mentioned, I wanted to convert to a ProStreet, but would rather find something else and not do any mods to this car and sell it the way it raced....
