After an extensive search Tate discovered the car itself, and purchased it along with its original Chevrolet experimental log book. Working in concert with a small cadre of close friends, Tate then began an enormous year-long restoration project, returning the record-setting engine to its first home and bringing the car back to its original configuration as Zora’s famous test bed and the world’s first high-performance Corvette. Upon its completion EX87/5951 was featured at the 2003 Bloomington Gold Corvette show. An incredible piece of Corvette history, EX87/5951 is the forebear of all the great Corvettes that have followed in its path.font. Feel free to drag and drop me anywhere you like on your page.
