Tons of car pics on the auction, but no pics of the documentation paperwork

[JChlupsa]

Did this car get repainted again? Looks green in the Magazine article.

[Belair62]

How do magazines do that ? It's LeMans

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I thought it was Fathom?

[Mr70]

In the article it says Fathom Blue,which is Code EE.
This car is slated to be here next week at the Mecum/Rockford auction.

Rob asked me about this car, so here are my thoughts:

If I were looking at it, I'd be asking the guy why it has 69 and up doors on it.

The 68 had the grab handle like the the ones on the car, but the were only grab handles, the door locks were buttons that were pressed to unlatch the doors.....

very noticable difference

And as far as I know the tilt-tele wheel was for 69 and up as well....they only offered tele in '68 and there was no ignition swith in that column, it should be on the dash if this car is a '68.

other things I noticed:

The blank retangular area on the console above the 'nitrous' button should house the fiber optics center.

this pic shows where the key should be, and the fiber optics.


Joel may have verified the vin and some of mods, but it would appear to me that this car has some 'splaining to do.

Here it is for sale at Mecum

http://www.mecumauction.com/auctions...D=SC0505-25042

But it did sell at BJ

http://www.barrett-jackson.com/aucti....asp?id=181291

for $102,000 oh, and they answer the question about the doors

Believed to be only documented Roadster by Joel Rosen. Documentation included letter from Joel Rosen, and tank sticker. New base coat, clear coat paint, tires, complete brake rebuild, suspension rebuild, upgraded with an L-88 rebuilt, new Hooker supercomp headers, and sidepipes. Rims and gas cap polished. Engine was purchased from Yenko Chevrolet, NOH. Engine also was rebuilt early on by the late D.A. Santucci, of Drag Racing fame, and his name is stamped on block pad. Has a M-21 4-speed transmission. Also has auxilary hard top painted to match, and White Ragtop. Doors and interior apppear to be from a 1969 Corvette, but were not changed during restoration. They may have been part of the conversion, therefore were not changed. Runs hard!! Motion items include: fender flares, gas cap, steering wheel, rims, fender gills, Motion emblems, valve covers, air cleaner, etc. Soon to be featured in numerous national magazines.

oops...thats what I meant..I saw the car...well mostly HEARD it !! Sounds awful healthy.

[Pantera]

With the late door mirrors I think those would have to be 76 to 79 doors. Motion used a Ford Torino sport mirror on all the Phase III cars.

I sure do like that color of Blue.

-------68 back-up lights are also gone.
-------Look closely at the mirrors, Pantera, as they dont appear to be the later Corvette mirrors either. There is a crease in the middle of them. They sort of look a bit like 1970 442 mirrors...........Bill S
