Was told yrs ago it is owned somewhere in the US

I saw that car on the Motion showroom floor as an 8 year old. My parents visited the shop to inquire about ordering a Phase III Camaro but, I was struck by the stunning Phase III GT Corvette. It was sitting next to a candy apple red VW Beetle that was all souped up.
In another section of their showroom were some VW based dune buggies.

I always wondered what happened to that Corvette.

Dave Rifkin, thanks for your response.
So cool you saw that car when new!
It amazes me the stories that come from the people on this site!
What did your parents end up buying, a station wagon with imitation wood paneling on the side?

We might have visited there before they bought the left over grabber blue 1969 Shelby GT500. They only kept that car for something like 6-8 months. They complained that it rode too rough. The wound up trading it in on a 1970 Oldsmobile Delta 88 convertible. I was heart broken when we pulled away in that stupid convertible and watched the Shelby disappear from view.
