1962 Corvette
“The Glass Onion”

Drag Car




Have you looked around at the car shows and magazines lately? Gassers are back! And it seems in a big way. All types plus the all-time favorites, Willy’s, Anglia’s, Hotrods and Corvettes, are showing up for nostalgia racing across the country.

The 1962 Corvette you see here has been a drag car since 1968 and it was raced on the AHRA and NHRA tracks in the Mid-West for many years winning several championships. In addition, it was shown in many car shows winning trophies in Competition classes.

Its last competition race was in 1987, where it ran 11.04 110+mph with most of its current drive train. Much of the history is outlined in a synopsis located in the photos titled “The Glass Onion”, so check it out.

The name for the car came from a rare Beatles song of the era, so it was appropriate to the owner at the time since the car was fiberglass and he liked the smell of the racing fuel.

The current owner, Rod Saboury, has converted the car for street use while still retaining its drag racing history. It is ready to drive to your next cruise night or car show. BTW, throughout its history, the car retained its stock front suspension with a lift kit sold at that time. So, the car runs great on the street.

Current equipment on the car includes:

* Honest Factory "No-Hit" Body. All Bonding Strips

Intact...Have photos. Uncut rear wheel wells

* Built 454 cu.in.

* M-22 Rockcrusher 4-Speed

* Schaefer 11” Clutch

* Edelbrock Carb.and Manifold

* 1957 Pontiac rear has new4:11gears

* MT Street Radials

* New brakes, hoses and wheel cylinders

* New charging system, headlights, brake lights and turn signals

* Receipts and parts lists back to the 60's and 70's

This car is ready to go anywhere! To the nearest cruise night, car show or take it back to the track. It has a clear title with the VIN tag in its original place on the steering column. When is the last time you saw a real gasser at a cruise night? Here is your chance! The car is located in Manchester, MD 21102. Inspections anytime with advanced notice. Thanks for your interest.
