<< Return <<     a trio of Holley two-barrel carbs resting atop an aluminum intake manifold with big valve, large-port iron heads. Mated to the big block in George’s Corvette is the Muncie close ratio four-speed. That’s the setup Sports Car Graphic drove in their january 1969 issue. Although drag racing was not SCG’s forte, the did get 0-60 times of 5.5 seconds and a quarter-mile of 14 flat at 103 mph.
     At the rate he’s driving his ’69, George will have put just 40,000 miles on the clock when the car turns 50 years old in 2119. Not many of us will be
                                          around to see that, but for George’s immortal
                                             1969 Corvette, it will just better with age.
