Corvette won its class in 1970. Finished 4th overall even against the monster prototypes.

That’s a convertible. The Le Mans Corvette coupes were like mine, no vinyl top.

True, true, but with a bolt-on hard top it’s sort of a coupe. Sort of. Ok, maybe not.
“Henri Greder took delivery of a brand new ZL-1 Corvette from Zora Arkus-Duntov only weeks before the race. The 1969 model still retained its factory yellow paint and vinyl covering on the bolt-on hard top.”

True, but nothing says “racing in style” more than a vinyl covered bolt on top.
