one of 3 Corvettes of Briggs Cunningham's LeMans team of 1960, they won first in class with this trio

how about this gauge cluster... why not make them this way from the factory? it's what the racers wanted, and isn't it what a sports car owner wants too?

Anyone know about this unusual speedometer? With a clock on the inside... I don't recall ever seeing a 70mph speedometer before in a sports car, ditto ever seeing a speedometer with a clock in it. I've seen tachs and clock combos... anyway, odd gauge, if you know what the info on it is, please share. jbohjkl@yahoo.com

cool little light to illuminate the car number

Patina on the lettering.

Below is what another of the trio looked like. Thought you'd like to compare them.

I ran out of time, and just grabbed these two shots when they announced they were closing, and I still had the entire upper floor to look at... the Mullin Museum closes at 3 in the afternoon... be sure to get there when they open so you have as much time as possible.. they have so much to look at, and if you are as slow and methodical at drooling over cool old cars as I am, you need the whole day.
