This is Lou D'Amico's ALTO Racing team 1969 Corvette race car. It is a famous vintage race car with a very
successful past. It has been featured in numerous magazines including a VETTE Quarterly cover story. The
original sponsors were ALTO Engineering, Eckler's, and ATL Fuel Cells. The car was purchased recently with a
truckload of spares from original owner, builder, and driver Lou D'Amico, after sitting untouched for 28 years!
