what's the racing history of this corvette?

Question

Accepted Answer

I've looked into the racing history for this 1962 Corvette (VIN: 20867S113288), and unfortunately **there's no documented racing history available** for this specific car. The listing doesn't mention any previous owners, tracks it ran on, events it competed in, or racing victories.

However, based on the extensive component list, this is clearly a **purpose-built drag racing machine** that was professionally constructed for straight-line competition:

**What the build tells us:**
- **Engine**: 565 cubic inch big block with Callies crank, Oliver rods, Diamond pistons, Brodix heads, and Enderly fuel injection — this is serious Pro Mod/Top Sportsman level power, likely 1,500+ hp capable
- **Chassis**: A "Funny car cage by Miller" with "4-link by Miller" and "back half by Miller" — this indicates it was professionally fabricated by **Miller Race Cars**, a drag racing chassis specialist (not Pratt & Miller of Corvette Racing fame, but a separate drag racing builder)
- **Driveline**: ATI transmission (built for high-horsepower drag applications) with Moser rear end and massive 4.30 gears
- **Safety/Drag Hardware**: Simpson parachute, 33×16.5×15 Mickey Thompson ET drag slicks on the rear
- **Suspension**: Coil-over front with 4-link rear designed for maximum weight transfer

This car was built for **Super Street, Pro, or possibly Top Sportsman bracket racing** at NHRA/IHRA tracks, or possibly heads-up Pro Mod-style competition. The "Funny car cage" designation suggests it meets NHRA certification for high 7-second (or quicker) elapsed times.

If you're interested in documented racing history, you might ask the seller directly if they know who built it, what tracks it ran at, or if they have any timeslips or photos from its racing days. The Miller chassis work suggests it was a serious effort by an experienced drag racing fabricator.
