Default The story of the “Mongoose” ‘63 Corvette
It had many iterations, including stints powered by a 427 Ford and a 426 Hemi. Good new online documentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8uDiAk8pmg

Thought you guys would get a kick out of out of this story about Bob the dawg gaudruea. He and my dad were best friends in high school

There’s some other great stories about these drag N run guys they were all pretty wild guys back in the day. Bob Gaudreau raced Chevies , Pontiac’s Hemi cudas tunnel port fords. Bob had a tin of cars !

Almost all of them were sponsored by local dealerships
