Default Re: Would a 435HP vette be considered a SUPERCAR?

------The yellow one (Roger Judskis) and the white one (Kevin Suydams) are pretty well established. There is also a pretty well known Monaco Orange convert that I believe the original owner still has. It has been to Corvette Carlisle more than once. The fourth is still a bit of a wild card and I cant go any further than that. It wouldnt be fair to the parties concerned at this time, but I have been assured by a very creditable source that it does exist. As far as the other three go,,,honestly not sure how many there were as they were probably cut up. There are many pictures of Zora in an automatic ZL1 coupe. I think it was white. There also would have been at least one 4-speed, but probably more like two,,,hence the figure of seven. The factory test cars are a bit of educated guesswork, but since they were probably crushed, we will never know.
------The same arguement comes up about the two 67 Corvettes with 36 gallon tanks that were supposedly the only two made. We have found that figure to also be a bit out of whack as there has been proof of other 67 tankers (2) that have been destroyed that posatively had big tanks installed at the factory.
------It seems that the published figures that came originally from GM are not always 100% correct but close......Bill S
