MY NAME IS ED BEAUMONT I HAVE 1963 CORVETTE THAT USED TO RUN AT DOVER, IT IS CALL ORANGE PEEL. IT IS QUIET A STORY AND I’LL TRY TELL A LITTLE BIT OF IT. THIS CAR TURNED INTO A RACE CAR IN 1963 AT DEALER IN CALIFORNIA. I BELIEVE STICK CHEVROLET. IT RAN ON WEST COAST FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND THEN WAS TOWED CROSS COUNTRY STOPPING AT TRACKS ALONG THE WAY UNTIL IT MADE IT TO THE DOVER AND OTHER LOCAL TRACKS. JOHN KANE HAD TOLD ME I SHOULD GET A HOLD OF YOU THINKING YOU MAY HAVE PICTURES OF THE CAR. BACK TO THE STORY… IT APPARENTLY WAS DAMAGED SOME WAY AND SENT BACK TO SPONSORING DEALER -STICK CHEV. AND SOLD TO A MAN NAMED BILL SHANER. HE FIXED CAR CHANGED OUT SUSPENSION AND RAN FOR A FEW YEARS IN CALIFORNIA. HE HAD OTHER RACE CARS AND THOUGHT HE WOULD GET BACK TO CAR LATER SO HE PUT IT IN A CONEX CONTAINER AND JUST TOOK IT OUT TWO YEARS AGO AFTER 27 YRS!. . AND SOLD IT TO A GUY IN L.A. AND HE SOLD TO A GUY IN OREGON AND HE SOLD IT TO A GUY IN TEXAS AND I FINALLY BOUGHT IT FROM HIM AND BROUGHT IT TO CINCINNATI TO BUILD IT AS A PROSTREET CAR UNTIL I FOUND OUT SOME OF IT’S HISTORY AND I WANT TO COMPROMISE AND BUILD IT BACK TO IT’S GASSER GLORY. I WILL ATTACH A COUPLE OF PICTURES FROM SEVENTIES AFTER SUSPENSION CHANGE I’VE LEFT A VOICE MAIL ON YOUR PHONE THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. ED BEAUMONT
