The original owner set aside many of the original parts and prepared the car for drag racing. Information on the drag racing history is also included in the file. It was retired from drag racing and restored back to stock in the early eighties. In 2005-2006, the Corvette was again restored, this time a high level rotisserie restoration. In 2006, NCRS issued a National Top Flight Award. Also, in 2006, it received a Bloomington Gold Certification.
