mance and racing history is John Greenwood. Like many
American car enthusiasts in the late 1960's, John was a
drag racing fan. However, once learning about and then try-
ing out gymkhana type competition among non-professional
drivers, John fell for road racing. At the time, he was driv-
ing a '68 Corvette equipped with the special L-88 version
®
of Chevy's big block 427 engine, so he had some pretty
®
heavy-duty hardware to start with.
Greenwood went off to school, road racing school that
is, and gained his Sports Car Club of America (SCCA)
competition license. Spending most of 1969 competing in
regional SCCA events, John was a quick study. By 1970,

Production class, driving a 427 Corvette
mount was completely predictable as not too many people

For the 12 hours of Sebring race in 1971, John built a
colorful red, white and blue C2 Corvette
the optional removable roof fastened on, the #48 was again
powered by the mighty 427 V8. Along with co-driver Dick
Smothers, the dark haired "straight man" to brother Tommy
as half of the Smothers Brothers comedy duo of the 1960's,
John came in first in GT class, coming in 7th overall.
It is this car as it competed at Sebring in 1971 that we
present for you in this Revell-Monogram kit. It features
many vintage racing parts as well as beautiful silkscreen
decals produced by Cartograf of Italy to depict the "Stars
and Stripes" paint scheme.
