Default Re: 1957 CORVETTE SEBRING RACER MULE CAR

As an related aside:
I used to work at Rochester Products; my manager in Product Development was the guy who developed and patented GM's fuel injection system. I don't recall his name right now, but it wasn't John Dolsa. I also remember pulling up the patent and seeing my manager's name on it.
He was a inventive-type genius with a good memory. That was 20 years ago, I'm not sure he's still around.

They also had an original mechanical fuel injection system in the lobby, next to all the new-fangled electrical ones.

Would that be FRANK SCHIBKA ? Frank passed a few years ago. He was a welth of information.

This 834 car has great past history. And this history search is on going for all these cars as all we do when we buy one of these cars is care for it until it is time to pass it to the next generation of collectors. I think it is really neat that Darryl has come forward to tell us about the past.

Nope, not Frank either. I can picture him - tall and thin with grey hair.
I did pull up some old reports I did and he was high enough up that I didn't send him copies. Not sure I have an org chart from back then....
