DX Corvette

[Lizard Racing]

Continuing my habit of building specific race cars, here is the 1967 DX Corvette L-88.

It won the GT class at the Sebring 12 hours in 1967.  Following the race, the car was turned over to Dave Morgan who campaigned it in SCCA national races, winning the class AP Midwest Division Championship.  I saw this car at the Lake Afton (Kansas) races that year, but I didn't realize I was looking at something famous.

Refusing to retire, the car was taken to the Daytona 24 hours in 1968, where it also won the GT class.  It beat the new '68 model Corvettes.

The kit was Revell's '67 Corvette pretty much OOB except for racing modifications.
