Default January 08 Feature: Rick Erickson's 66 Vette

This month's Feature car is Rick's ZO66 Vette. It's a beatiful ride, and one that gets driven hard. If you made it to Year One or SEMA, then you've seen just how cool this car is.

Thanks Rick! Awesome Vette!

I want to than Scott for the feature on Ricks Corvette, Rick and I are both excited and honored. I really need to thank Rick for giving us the opportunity to do such a killer car. With 30 years of car building approaching and more cars then I can remember under my belt, this is no doubt in my top ten favorite cars I have even done. The car is such a total package of a frighteningly power full lightweight package, sinister aggressive looks, yet classy enough to park in front of the country club.
Rick and Jen, your way up there on my top 10 list of customers, what a great couple to work for. I cannot wait to get started on your Camaro.

Thanks again,

Great looking car!

I have a question though, When I first saw it I thought it was a '67 Vette.

Aren't the front fenders and the hood off of a '67 Vette?

'66's had 3 vents behind the front tires and the, "Stinger" hood came out in '67. The '67 had five vents behind the front wheel, while the'66 had three.

I know it's an anal statement, but the '67 is the other car after a 69 Camaro that I would want to own. I've been lusting over them for a long time.

I'm sure I'm not telling anyone anything new, but I had to ask.

We decided since we had to rebody it to restyle the body with the more popular 67 fenders and hood
