Worldwide Auctioneers announced today that one of the most sought after Corvette Race cars in existence will join its Houston line up this May, when an acclaimed 1957 Chevrolet Corvette COPO Race Car goes under the hammer.
Of the 23 ‘Air-Box’ examples known to exist, this is one of only 6 factory COPO Airbox Corvettes acquired by known racing drivers. Proclaimed by Vette Magazine as “an open-track threat right off the assembly line”, the car was delivered new to Bob Mouat and successfully raced straight out of the showroom until 1965, achieving 21 victories and over 50 top ten finishes. Extensive documentation authenticates its history on the track and subsequent success at events such as Bloomington Gold, The Monterey Historics and Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance.
