The Story
A California boy.
A legendary engine builder.
One unforgettable road.
It started at Orange County Raceway — where a high school auto shop class built a quarter-mile race car, and the lightest kid in class got to drive it. That's where he first met Ray Alley, the engine builder whose name was spoken with reverence throughout the Southern California racing scene.
Years later, union construction money in his pocket, that same young man bought a 1969 Corvette Stingray in British Racing Green and brought it straight to Ray. What came back dyno'd at 550 horsepower — with every original component preserved, every number matching, every piece of history intact.
Ray put on the period mag wheels. Then he looked the owner in the eye and said: never get rid of the original rims. He never did.
In 1977, the car was driven to Dana Point, California. It was covered. The garage door closed. It hasn't moved since.
