zone 79 dealer 959 or 059?

[ronebee]

I have a 1968 427-435 corvette roadster that I purchased a couple years back, I'm finally getting around to stripping it and this thing had definately seen some action. to make it right it will need to rear quarters, a front clip, correct 68 doors (the later doors should have been a clue) and a rear dec, OR I can use what is there, add L-88/Zl-1 Flares and have some fun. I have whats left of the tank sticker (past owner lamented it) zone # 79 and dealer code 959 or 059, anybody have any odeas about this car? I bought it out of PA, it has a Yenko (or Motion) hood on it and it has seen LOTS of action. Ya know, its cool that people kept some of them perfect, but honestly, the reason that these cars are legends is some people actually drove the snot out of them (like this one). Any advise would be great.....

Zone # 79 was usually some kind of export or overseas delivery also sometimes used for military personnel stationed offshore.
Nothing on 059 but NCRS has 959 recorded for a 70's Hawaii delivery as noted below.
Is it a C48 car?

Wow, that is actually pretty interesting I think you are correct about delivery to Hawaii. amazing the car went from there all the way back to Pa (hitting several things along the way). Thanks for the information, very helpful....

heater delete? Negatory ghostrider, car was heavily optioned for a 435 car, had wheel covers, off road exhaust, vinyl hardtop, etc...

Sounds great, keep digging!
Can you share your tank sheet?

I can, but it is pretty dark, it is not gonna reproduce very well

No real need to see the tank sheet and more interested if you can share the RPO's legible also vehicle info, build date etc.
If an a/c car, is the C60 showing also the L71 etc?
I was asking on the C48 thing as '68 was the first year for mandatory heaters and an Export zone/Hawaii delivery probably the best possibility of one getting out after 01/68.
Either way the car sounds very cool and if you're taking pictures, one including the hood would be great to see!
Is there a rear traction unit and/or signs of a roll bar or cage?
