The car has the nose replaced with a 66 nose. That would explain a lot

Jim: Thanks very much. Yesterday a friend gave me a really great Christmas gift. Until then I didn't know my 116538 coupe was pictured in the 1965 article in Corvette News, volume 9, issue 2! The article covered a 1965 Weatherly PA hill climb, when my car was almost new. Still had aluminum wheels and sidepipes then. First owner Tom "Groovy" Morgan is mentioned (and a co-driver name I had not heard before) along with Al Loquasto and others. The co-driver name is Bert Karlman of Union, NJ. See PHA (Pennsylvania Hillclimb Assoc.) facebook page too. Looking for Bert. Thanks again. Tom D.

Al Loquasto was a mid year racer with real history. I should enter the car in the REGISTRY OF CORVETTE RACE CARS, www.registryofcorvetteracecars.com. I care for C1 and C2 entries. Send me a PM email and I will enter the car in our ROSTER section.
