About the Car On This Print

Here's the story about this car from Scott's monthly column in VETTE Magazine,
The Illustrated Corvette Series.

  
Zora Arkus-Duntov's plan for the Corvette was two-fold. First, he wanted to make the Corvette the kind of car that was capable of being driven at 100% by 10% of the Corvette drivers. And second, if the stock Corvette wasn't up to delivering what the customer wanted, he could buy all of the go fast parts he needed. This basic plan not only helped win races, but helped make legends.

John Greenwood was a typical drag racing guy in the '60s. At his wife's suggestion, John discovered the fun of gymkhana competition at a local supermarket parking lot in his '68 427 L88 Corvette. Having been bitten by the road racing bug, he went to road racing school to get his SCCA driver's license. John already knew how to goose a big-block Chevy for more power and by 1970 was racing an A/Production, 427 Corvette.

In short order, John defeated the Owens-Corning Corvette team of Tony DeLorenzo and Jerry Thompson after they'd won 22 straight races. Driving with comic Dick Smothers, John then went on to win the American Road Race Championship in '70 and '71. Greenwood was beginning to get a lot of attention. BF Goodrich had a racing marketing program and financed Greenwood with over 6-figures to race on their new, high-performance street radial tires. This was a radical plan, but the cash was great.

With great financing and sponsors like Briggs Chevrolet, John was racing big-time. Although racing on street tires put the car at a slight disadvantage, Greenwood's strategy was to race the long courses where cornering power wasn't as critical as speed on the straights.

The plan sort of worked. Greenwood's cars always qualified well and often set records. At Le Mans the ZL-1 powered car was clocked at over 200 mph! But hardware woes hurt the team for two years, and BF Goodrich ended their sponsorship after the '73 season.

In '71 John created "John Greenwood Sales" in partnership with Briggs Chevrolet. Here's where John really made his mark in Corvette history. By using his skills as a parts developer, John made and sold go-fast hardware. Racers could get everything from body parts and tube chassis, to suspension systems and window nets. Everything was race tested and proven.

John may not have won as many races as he wanted to, but he sure helped a lot of other guys make their Corvettes winners.



A Personal Note From the Artist...



I am often asked, how I got into drawing cars. Well, I was one of those guys in school that was always drawing cars on my book covers and along the margins of my notes. When I graduated from Collingswood High School (in Collingswood, NJ), I thought I wanted to be a draftsman. It didn't take long for me to realize that my heart belonged to illustration.

I kept drawing drag racing and muscle cars and in 1975 had my first illustration published in "Drag Racing USA" magazine, and have never stopped.

Eventually, in the early '80s, I went to Philadelphia College of Art and studied illustration. After I put together a portfolio, I began my freelance career. In the early '90s I had the unique opportunity to work in the "Boys Toys" R&D Department at Tyco Toys where I worked on Tyco RC, Tyco HO, Matchbox, and Matchbox Collectibles product lines. Not only did I have receive a first-rate education in product design and development, I worked with some of the most talented and creative people I have ever known.

No, it wasn't like the Tom Hanks movie, "BIG," but I did share many wacky times there.

All along though, I kept my hand in the magazine biz and am currently a contributing artist and writer for "VETTE Magazine". And I now produce a monthly online newsletter called "The Corvette Report" with all kinds of juicy tidbits for the Corvette enthusiast.

I also enjoy researching the best mix of cool gear and art for motorhead enthusiasts of all ages and maintaining and updating the the Corvette Gear eBay store, as well as our other websites that are listed below
