We
met Newman at Carlisle last year where he had his C1/C4 hybrid
chassis
on display alongside Dr. Long’s black ‘58 Corvette. Both were fitted with
the late-model LT4 small-block and the ZF 6-speed
Newman’s first ‘62 prototype had a stock 327/4-speed...
transmission. The ‘58
does go a little further than most conversions with humongous rear wheels
and tires. The C1/C4 chassis accepts 8 ½-inch wheels without body mods. Long
had to widen the rear body to accept the 11-inch wide ZR1 wheels shod with
massive P315/40/17s.
The
result is truly a ‘58 dream
