Russo and Steele...2006
I was just checking out their site tonight and found out that Dave has put one of his Z-16's into the Russo and Steele auction in January. It is the prototype #1 car...and it's WAY cool!
  You can read more about it here: Z-16 at Russo and Steele Auction and be sure to check out Dave's website: Z16Chevelle.com

Re: Russo and Steele...2006
Looks like another record price will be set. Does anyone know what color the second car produced was? A guy in Greenville SC had a red one just like the #1 car. It was said that it was one of the prototype cars.

James:
Just like this #1 car with no vinyl top?? That was this car - the second prototype is not known to exist. The vinyl top was correctly installed when Terry Gunter bought it. Floyd Garrett didn't want it when he had it restored even though it originally came with it. Dave

Re: Russo and Steele...2006
Floyd has a tendency to do this and does not like vinyl tops. I restored his '67 SS427 Impala around 1980 with the original vinyl top. He bought the car and promptly re-restored it without the top, this on a 25,000 original mileage car and less then a year old restoration.

He is a local Chevy dealer and had it on display in his showroom. It's not there now. I don't know if it was moved or if he sold it. One of his employees told me it was one of the test cars. I have never got a chance to talk to Mr Whittaker about it. James
