ZR1,Z06,L88 Corvette book author, Dr Pete
Welcome to my Corvette site here on the Internet.
New ZR1 Corvette daily updates are at the bottom of this page. I've placed a list of all my Corvette sites and products below. |
The Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals for 2011 has come and gone, and I am pleased to say it was once again another great collection of Corvettes and other Muscle Cars. For 2011, the 1971 Corvette was highlighted and several original and restored 1971 LS6 Corvettes were on display. Here are some photos from the 2011 show:
The Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals is The Premier indoor car show of the year.
2011 was the fourth year in a row that I have been invited to this prestigious event
as
an author.
This show is the largest indoor collection of Corvettes and Muscle Cars, anywhere.
Here are some photos of the show from 2009:
My table is on the right between the white 1969 L88 Corvette and the blue 1968 racing Corvette.
I was showing the public my first book, which was Corvette Racing Legends, the story of the L-88 option package. Obviously, I am a Corvette enthusiast. I have more Corvette books in the works.
One of my favorite Corvettes is currently making its rounds at Car Shows and at Vintage Racing events around the country. This Corvette sold at auction in August 2010, for 1.25 Million Dollars. This Corvette was a 1967 convertible and it was the first Corvette to be special ordered with the optional L-88 Corvette engine and all the necessary options to complete the package. That First RPO L88 Corvette is well documented in my Corvette book. That's it on the right hand side of the page in the photo below as number 10. This L-88 Corvette was restored to 1967 racing trim in 2011 and was invited to participate in the Great Hall at the Bloomington Gold Corvette Show.

I am an official sponsor of the Great Hall for 2011 at the Bloomington Gold Corvette Show.
I've been going to the Bloomington Gold Corvette shows since 1981. That was back in the day when the show was actually in Bloomington Illinois at the state fairgrounds. Now I've been invited to be a partner in the presentation of the Great Hall that displays and inducts the people and the cars that made the Corvette what it is today. The Bloomington Gold Corvette Show is now held at the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles Illinois. If you are at any of the shows, I go by "Dr. Pete" and not as Corvette Pete. I'm planning on spending time at the Great Hall and staying out of the sun under the Mecum Corvette Auction tent. Photos of the First RPO L-88 can be seen here.

I started on the Internet back in 1995. My first Corvette site was Corvette Legends. You can take a look at this multi page site by clicking on the image above. Corvette Legends has many articles with photos and daily Corvette updates that are not ZR1 specific as you find on this page. |
I've also been contributing some of my personal photography to David Kimble, the world famous cutaway artist engineer. David Kimble has been writing and organizing a Corvette book that will cover six generations of Corvette racing. This new Corvette book is scheduled to be released in Dec 2012. David has selected almost two dozen of my personal photos to be featured in that new Corvette Book. These photos have not been published before and they are not contained in my first book, Corvette Racing Legends. This book will be printed in a limited quantity, and I will be offering some thru my online store. Here is the link over to my David Kimble Corvette Book page. |
My first book was Corvette Racing Legends, here is another sample page. This is a hardbound book containing over 500 color and black and white photos, most of which have never been published before, all contained within 424 pages. Here is a direct link over to that site. |

Every year is a great year when I meet so many nice people at car shows. I would like to thank all you viewers who visit my sites and all of my customers who have purchased books from me. I enjoy visiting with so many of you who enjoy and appreciate the culture that the American automobile has created and how it has impacted our society. Again, I enjoy meeting so many of you at car shows, and I appreciate your emails.
I have 2 more books under development at this time. If the economy allows me, they will be completed by the Fall of 2013. I'd like to produce 2 additional books, but again, the economy is not strong enough to support those goals. The L-88 Corvette "Street" book and the COPO Yenko book will both be of the same high quality as Corvette Racing Legends. Keep checking my sites for updates, or you can follow me on Twitter, as I have found this new cell phone technology an extremely easy way for me to provide updates for you to read about and follow.
I have ZR1 Corvette updates for you to view below. The new ZR1 Corvette is the new king of Corvettes, but if it weren't for the L88 Corvettes, we wouldn't have a C4 ZR1 or C6 ZR1 or even the new C6 Z06 for that matter. Again, the technology that's available out there is so beneficial for all of us in so many different ways. Don't forget that I have different Corvette updates on my other sites. |
