Evening With A Legend: The Camoradi Corvette


Listen Later

This Evening with a Legend episode focuses on the storied history of the Camoradi USA Racing's 1960 Corvette. This exceptional vehicle, built under Chevrolet's Ed Cole and Zora Duntov, raced successfully in several international competitions, including a notable run at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Despite a catastrophic crash and being left for scrap, the car was miraculously salvaged and restored 30 years later by Loren Lundberg. The panel, consisting of author Richard Prince, current owner Dominic Testa, and Chuck Schroedel, a member of the original Camoradi team, discusses the car's rich history and the colorful characters involved, such as racing enthusiast Lloyd Lucky Kastner. The conversation also touches on modern-day Corvette racing and the transition to mid-engine designs. Additional details are provided about sponsors, The Motor Chain and Carnection Advisors, and the role of the International Motor Racing Research Center in documenting and preserving such automotive history.

Featuring the voices of Allonte Barakat (The Motor Chain) and Revel Arroway (CARnection Advisors); We appreciate these talented podcasters lending their support to the MPN.
