Racingicons.com did an amazing job restoring the famous 00 Stingray back to its original race-heritage. This is the first
1963 Z06 ever produced and now looks exactly how it did back on October 13th, 1962 when Dave MacDonald
race-prepped for it's debut outing at Riverside Raceway. The race was a highly anticipated showdown between two
iconic sports cars - the new Chevrolet Stingray and Carroll Shelby's Ford Cobra, also making its debut. MacDonald
and Cobra driver Billy Krause put on a wild show in the first hour of the race, exchanging the lead several times as they
pulled far away from the rest of the field. Both cars however bowed out with rear end failures. Photo Dave Wendt
