The builder is known for creating and painting cars for a famous car dealer and race driver.  This car is also known for being part of a museum exhibition

Apparently, he was just sponsor and builder of racer corvettes, but not a driver, (Sorry, I got the wrong info). He was a 'real' famous Corvette dealer and customizer.
