Gary your timeline on the engine is 83/84 and the picture on the first page is 80's and the car is clear registered. So if you did get a Vette ZL-1 engine of the guy, and this one is legit, would that not make a min of 6 '69 ZL-1 Vette's to be accounted for to date?

I first met John in the mid/late 90’s when he brought his beast to the Autumn Leaf Festival in Clarion, PA. John was up here because he had friends / ties to the area. On his windshield show card he had written “1 of 7 built” which of course led me to strike up a conversation with him having known for a long time that “2 built” was the accepted amount. He told me of how he physically stood in a holding lot looking at each one of the 7 (his included) before his was shipped to the dealer. I don’t remember the particulars of where the holding lot was (but remember envisioning it being the Corvette plant as we talked). I was able to get John’s number from a friend of mine (who mounted the 1st set of slicks for it at the Quaker State Service Station in Clarion) and shared that with Rob Clary who called John and discussed the car quite extensively.
As for the Yenko mention I think there is some confusion there. John’s father owned a large trucking company and all of his truck tractors were ordered through the Yenko dealership. Having purchased as much as his dad did put the Mahr family in pretty good standing at and with Yenko. Why it came through West Penn I don’t recall. I know that my (and John’s) friend Jimmy Stewart (not THAT Jimmy Stewart) was with him when the car arrived. John took Jimmy in quite a few harrowing rides from day 1. I have no reason to doubt John, Jimmy and Burr who were around the MO ZL1 from the very 1st day.

What a great day to be alive this must have been. The sounds out of those pipes at full song must have been heavenly.

The shark body Corvette photo. The hood is not typical factory production L-88. (too high) The front driver side marker light is used with a 1970-1972 model. The photo is NOT a 1968 or 1969 convertible. Regards, Drew Papsun |

Yes, I think you're right Drew. I believe you mean passenger side turn signal, in the grille?
