About this product

Product Information

Zora Arkus-Duntov: The Legend Behind Corvette tells the story of how a gifted engineer brought up by Russian Revolutionary parents became the guiding force behind the legendary American sports car, and in the process attained the elite status of American legend himself. Author Jerry Burton, founding editor and current editorial director of Corvette Quarterly, has worked with many of Zora's friends and colleagues, as well as his widow Elfi, to write the first major biography of Zora Arkus-Duntov. Burton has illustrated his book with hundreds of unpublished photos, blueprints, and archival documents.This book puts Duntov in the perspective needed to understand his achievements as a Russian-Jewish immigrant fighting to make his mark at General Motors.

A must for a Corvette owners
I have read this book three times and every time I find something different and all of them positive. It’s about the life of Zora Arkus-Duntov but most importantly his passion for racing. Making sure the Corvette earned it’s stripes in the racing world as well as his zeal for MIDENGINE cars. His struggles with GM in keeping the Corvette the best there could be. Enjoy

Buy the book.
I am a Vette Guy. This book goes into Duntov's life which is a little different from what I've heard about him. Regardless,it's great reading. Duntov was probably one of the greatest engineers GM ever had.
