Thanks. A bit short, and took a couple of passes to freeze frame to get some good insights. i.e., brake cooling, looks likle a rear cooling for diff maybe, and ARB set up on IRS.

RANT - (not directed at you rtj)
What is it that people do not understand the value of a portrait vs landscape image?
OK, if you are wedded to your phone - I get it. You'll shoot in portrait. But the camera works both ways.
If you want to attract a wider audience (Pun intended) then rotate!

If you are trying to monetize your YouTube account, you need to upload shorts, as they are pushing those ( supposedly).

To be a “short “ they have to be portrait.

Yeah, dumb, but they are probably copying tic toc.

If I owned that 49 car, regardless of whether it is a clone, I’d be po’ed at the guy waving around that big wrench near all that immaculate paint.

 

[phantomjock]

Market-driven then. Makes sense - Thanks for clarifying.
I hoped they all can't be that...

Don’t know about this one, but I see inverted videos fairly often.

Wow, the latest web site updates don’t work well with iPhones.

Anyway

Clever idea. Good use of retired infrastructure. Sort of a modern day Smokey Yunick.

Appears to be an original Greenwood car at approximately 3 min mark.

$1million in 2009? I wonder what it's worth now?

Well according to Google AI:

“
AI Overview

The 1963 Corvette Z06 "Gulf One," which sold for $1.05 million in 2009
, had a estimated value of $3 million to $3.5 million when it last appeared at a Mecum auction in January 2022.
While it failed to meet the reserve price at that 2022 auction with a high bid of $2.4 million, it remains the most successful production racing Corvette of the C2 era and is recognized as the most highly original of all original racing Z06 Sting Rays. “
