[PODCAST] Kevin MacKay Talks Restoration of the No.1 Cunningham Corvette on the Corvette Today Podcast


Corvette restoration expert Kevin Mackay returns to the guest chair on the CORVETTE TODAY Podcast and he discusses the latest news surrounding the 1960 Corvette that was No.1 of three that raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans by Briggs Cunningham. Kevin also tells us when we can expect to see all three Le Mans Corvettes back together again!

In 1960, Briggs Cunningham took 3 Corvettes to France to race at Le Mans. After that race, the cars were brought back to the United States, put back to original and sold to consumers.

The #3 car was recovered about put back to the way it was when it raced in 1960 at Le Mans and is owned by a private owner.The #2 car is owned by Bruce Meyers of the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. But what happened to the #1 car?

After a long legal battle, Kevin Mackay from Corvette Repair in Long Island, New York, has been putting this historic Corvette back to it’s original 1960 livery for the past year (after it was purchased by Briggs Cunningham’s family at auction).

Kevin comes back on CORVETTE TODAY to tell the story of the #1 Cunningham Corvette and to tell you when and where you can see this car…with its two siblings!
