1987 GMC V3500 Corvette IRS Parts

This Corvette comes from humble beginnings, but it's a serious contender on the track.

This is the amazing story of a 1957 Corvette that was built by GM as a factory-backed race car and test mule for the experimental Rochester Ramjet fuel injection. It won its class at Nassau and Daytona, then disappeared into a Chicago garage for 47 years.

In 2000, Sam Schmidt was involved in a serious crash testing his Indy car. He was paralyzed from the neck down. But that hasn't stopped him from hitting the track, and he does it in this hot rod Corvette packed full of miraculous electronic innovation.
