I didn't know it was so well known!
Partly correct in that it was built by Ken Eberts and had a Chevy  265 cu in V8, but it wasn't based on a Corvette chassis originally, though it was later on...
Locked for you to look into!

Original chassis was a Henry J chassis. I remember the car from my own index but i didnt know any of the specs for it. So I looked more into Ken Eberts and his life is very interesting. Nice car too!
