This is a model of the first Corvette C5-R or more correctly the modified street Corvette Test Mule and Homologation car that became the first racecar. There was some thought at the time that a certain number of these “Super-Vettes” would have to built to meet regulations. There was a second homologation car with the more familiar exposed headlights and cut out hood vent that survives today at the Corvette Museum.
The model is a melding of a stock Corvette chassis, running gear, windshield frame and glass and interior with a body from the firstC5-R kit. The hood and hood vents were opened up while side, roof and exhaust openings were blanked off. The engine was slightly modified and is closer to the engine configuration in the second Homologation car, which started off as more of a racecar for the street. The wheels are from Fujimi and are like the bolt on wheels used on the original car. The paint is the new Testor’s Custom Lacquer System, which I am very impressed with right out of the spray cans.

Dean Geddes only raced for a few years starting in 1958 in a 56 Corvette. Legend has it that the first race he entered he won was also the first race he had ever seen. The next year he got a new 1959 Corvette, in which he won the West Coast B-Production Championship. Building the model of Dean's car actually lead a re-union with a son Dean had not seen for 40 years and a chance to get to know two grand children he did not he had.
