This week on the CORVETTE TODAY Podcast, your host Steve Garrett talks with Corvette historian and photographer Richard Prince about the 1960 Camoradi Corvette which raced at many of the top venues in its day including the 12 Hours of Sebring, the 1,000 Km of Nürburgring, and of course, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Things went very wrong for the car in August 1960 at the Goodwood Circuit in the U.K., and it was eventually left for dead. We know today that wasn’t the case, which is why Richard calls it “The Greatest Corvette Story Ever Told.”

Corvette Racing fans and enthusiasts who love the old stories won’t want to miss this episode of Corvette Today!

When Corvette enthusiasts talk about Le Mans in 1960, they mostly talk about the three Corvettes that Briggs Cunningham raced there.

There was a 4th Corvette that raced at Le Mans in 1960 – it was owned and raced by Camoradi Racing.

Corvette photographer, Richard Prince, comes back to CORVETTE TODAY with your host, Steve Garrett, to tell the story of this 4th Le Mans Corvette!

Richard tells the story of the owner, the race team, how it did at Le Mans in 1960, and what happened to the car after the race.

It’s a truly amazing story – one that many Corvette enthusiasts don’t know. Get the full story of the Camoradi Corvette and where it is today on this episode of CORVETTE TODAY.
