Fabulous Restorations Fabulous owner, George Haddad was greeted by Bill Tower, Tom Hill, Dave McLellan and Ken Kayser, Motor City's finest engineers who were part of the team originally responsible for making the Corvette what it is today. They were impressed to see a meticulous, integrated application of aerodynamic components on the FC 6 and knocked out by the modest choice of supercharger to complement the ample stock power plant; after all, they helped invent the 'tickle of thrust'. Gloating over the modified interior, the plush seating and leather appointments gave them satisfaction that driving would provide luxurious neck-snapping pleasure. You could tell their desire was to get behind the wheel to feel the real deal. It is because of these few FC 6 subtleties that one might wind up in critical care and possibly so. Play it safe, George and his Fabulous Team offer driving lessons. The older we get the friendlier we are to ourselves. This is perhaps a motivating factor for the Fabulous Team to build a long lost race car … Tony DeLorenzo’s, “Hot Commodity”… The Owens Corning #6 Corvette that raced in 1970 at Daytona. There’s significant history behind the recreation of this vehicle, so fittingly George Haddad got up with Corvette race car driver and owner of the #7 Owens Corning race car, Jerry Thompson, who offered several choice tidbits of technical information relevant to authenticity. Also, former Corvette race car driver, Cliff Gottlob, provided his take on component parts used in the day. Fabulous Restorations is committed to the accurate preservation of this race Car and it is fundamental company priority to consult with essential people. Subsequently, Dave Miller, owner of a ’68 LT 2 built by Werner Meier, Tom Langdon and Gib Hufstader, persuaded George to speak with Werner for genuine, proper information concerning the #6. And the build goes on! Many thanks to Registry of Corvette Race Cars owner, Jan Hyde, who helped provide historic information and photos.
