Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C2

I photographed this car in the paddock at the HSCC Summer Race Meeting at Oulton Park in July 1992.

It's a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C2, and the DVLA record says it has an engine capacity of 5,737cc. This equates to 350 cu in, but apparently all the 1963 Stingrays were originally made with 327 cu in engines. The plate on the front of the car says that this was competitor number 792 in the 1992 Norwich Union Classic Car Run which took place in May of that year.

This car was entered in the auction which accompanied the Northern Classic Car Show at the Belle Vue Exhibition Halls in Manchester in September 1986.

It's a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, but no other details were given about the car in the brochure of the event.

On 11th Sept 2013 I showed some photographs of a 1958 Chevrolet Corvette at the HSCC Summer Race meeting at Oulton Park on 4th July 1992. Here are photographs of three other Chevrolets at that meeting, two of which (at least) took part in the HSCC Independance Day race.

This is the 1969 Stingray of Hal Danby and is the car which is shown in the background, apparently abandoned at the trackside, in one of the photographs on the earlier post.

This is a 1964 Chevrolet Malibu entered by Norman Abbott Racing and driven in the race by John Young

A 1963 Corvette Stingray (number 39) is shown in the programme of the event entered by Hal Danby and driven in the race by Tim Wright and this may be that car before the race number was applied.
