Evening With A Legend: The Camoradi Corvette

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.  ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Introducing the 1960 Camaradi Corvette 02:20 The Story of Lloyd 'Lucky' Kastner 03:30 The Camaradi Corvettes at Sebring 07:35 Technical Details of the Camaradi Corvette 13:48 Chuck Schroedel's Journey to Le Mans 25:06 The Camaradi Maserati Team 30:17 The Mulsanne Crash and Speed Records 30:47 Owning a Piece of Le Mans History 31:37 The Camaradi Team and Notable Figures 32:05 Fred Gamble and Carroll Shelby 32:26 The 1960 Le Mans Race 33:11 American Reception at Le Mans 34:12 Loren Lundberg's Quest for the Camaradi Corvette 34:59 Bob Wallace's Journey 37:27 Finding the Camaradi Corvette 40:11 The Car's Restoration and Legacy 49:46 Modern Corvette Racing and the C8 56:28 Closing Thoughts and Acknowledgements ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram To learn more about or to become a member of the ACO USA, look no further than www.lemans.org, Click on English in the upper right corner and then click on the ACO members tab for Club Offers.
