Jack Walker's 1963 Corvette "The Condor"

fromwien · « **Reply #3 on:** November 22, 2020, 06:45:47 AM »

Name "Condor" is correct, base "1963 Corvette" too, but my source names another builder....
Locked for ValkyrieGT

Perhaps you are looking for a name...Jason Betts...he stored the car for Jack Walker & took these phots of the car.

ValkyrieGT · « **Reply #5 on:** November 22, 2020, 08:16:00 AM »

Jack Walker did indeed create this car.

This should be the world's first 'Gullwing Corvette' ever built... by...

?

ValkyrieGT · « **Reply #7 on:** November 22, 2020, 08:24:22 AM »

I am confident that Jack Walker was the builder of this car...please unlock if you have another name for who built this car...my source say Jack Walker built this car.

I will give you a hint: My source states a far earlier appearance of this car than 1970 (as stated on the Kustomrama-page),...
...and you can find the builder's name of my source, mentioned in the 'Jack Waller article'

ValkyrieGT · « **Reply #9 on:** November 22, 2020, 09:03:56 AM »

I will guess the Dick Harrell Shop in Kansas City built the car.

Ive dug as far as I can dig on this puzzle car...please unlock the puzzle.

Another hint for you: Kansas city, as you mentioned, is a hot clue....

Sorry, unlocked

Was Ray Fahrner the customizer first involved with this car?

Not Ray Fahrner
