Herb Fox, one of Gibb Chevrolet's top salesmen, ordered up the Z/28 and started doing his thing at the track. Fred, himself, then got bit by the racing bug and pledged his support to Fox, as well as to many, many race related projects in the future. For the '67 season, the car retained it's original "Royal Plum" paint, but for the '68 season the car was painted a bright red, and got treated to a set of knock off wheels. In '68, "Little Hoss" and Herb Fox were the AHRA World Champions. Numerous national records and scores of victories, and as they say "the rest is history"!!

Re: March 2006 Feature Car
Sweet example of a historic car! . Those 'Vette K/O's look great too! . When was the cross-ram setup installed? ~ Pete
