Anybody know if that car spent some of its life in the Syracuse area? BEST was from Syracuse and I vividly remember a car from my youth that looked very similar.

The car was certainly not as fresh as when it was completed by Nabers Motors. It was owned by a collector in Dallas and he's the one that had it restored. His cars are always stunning and he's owned (and owns) some amazing stuff.
I was a bit disappointed in it's condition when I saw it in Phoenix in January. It looks like it has been driven, that's OK, but it was not at all crisp. Had blue streak radials on it for driving.

It's a Corvette that was ordered from Yenko Chevrolet. Nice colors and options, but it had no special treatment from Yenko. I believe the Warranty Plate was signed by Don Yenko as the salesman and it's the real deal Warranty Plate.

Don Yenko was pretty crafty. He figured out how to get the factory to drop a Corvette motor into that car. Instead of using the COPO system to order the car, he used something called the RPO system.
