In 1976 John Greenwood built this car for Chicago Dealer Rick Mancusco. The widebody Corvette was built to run in the 1976 IMSA Road Racing Series. Mancusco debuted the car at the 76 Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona then went on to run the 12 Hours of Sebring in March. John Greenwood was quietly approached to field a widebody Corvette at the 76 24 Hours of Le Mans. He realized that the time was too tight to build another chassis for Le Mans, so he asked Mancusco to let him borrow the Mancuso-Greenwood Corvette. After arriving at Le Mans, French rally driver Claude Darnish was enlisted to co-drive with John. The car qualified sixth, with a top speed of 221 mph and lasted until the 16th hours when a rear tire exploded, damaging the fuel cell and rear bodywork. Mancusco campaigned the car several years before retiring it.
