Their is a long story behind this vette it belonged to my father who died in 1966 I was 6 years old and the car was in the paint shop at the time, the shop keeper said he would keep the car for the bill due but my Grandfather said he would pay the bill and pick up the car. My Dad had 5 brothers that raced the vette in the day with a 12 to 1 stroked 301 with a t-10 and 513s out the back the car was always known as Taylor's vette. Well 10 years later I move from LA to the farm in Yakima WA. I only saw the vette in the back of the downstairs storage shop I had just turned 16 and got my drivers license well to make a long story short a new kid in the valley was claiming he had the fastest car in the valley when an old farmer asked if he ever raced Taylor’s vette for that title he said he didn’t know they had one and proceeded to do a burn out in front of the farm house while me and uncle Jerry were working on a tractor, without say a word my uncle got up and left a few minutes later I hear the little ford tractor chugging up the hill with the vette in tow. Well after working on it the rest of the afternoon it was running pretty good and a few launching lessons later he threw my the keys and said go get him. I set up the race and all my buddies and half the town showed up this little vette came out of the hole so hard I almost could not hold the wheel straight, second third and fourth and it was all over I had to wait at the other end for him and I never saw him the whole race, that was all it took I have been drag racing ever since--------Sorry for the long story, ssvette
