1962 corvette SCCA big tank race car at Road America in 1960's

[VET65]

Trying to determine owner/driver of an unusual painted rare big tank 1962 Corvette that raced at Road America and Blackhawk in years 1962 to 1976


Details: the car was ordered as new car from Nikey Chevrolet as a race ready full all out SCCA race car
The last person to own the car in 1976 lived in Racine Wisc and then it was bought by Lou Grupe who sold it to someone in Texas . Lou does not remember who bought it from or sold it to

I have attached pictures. The car ran in B/P when it was bought in 1976

The orange paint is similar to paint treatment on the George Reed took his Ferrari Tour deFrance (see picture below) . He raced a 1960 white Corvette but with no orange paint

ANY HELP appreciated . Also if you are aware of a discussion forum dealing with Road America that would be great


Thanks
