I asked him - David made up the tag. There was no tag originally.
He also tells the story like all the parts were with the car, but they weren't. It's possible those parts are for the car, but that's not a given.

The car left Chevrolet at Norwood as a base 6 cylinder as part of the assembly pilot production build.
Car then made it's way to Yunick's garage and then decades later was sold at auction as a disassembled tub with the front end loose and no drive train.

I agree with this except I'm not seeing the evidence of different configurations. Chevrolet reputedly sent it with a BB and he tested it that way.
This car was always a bit of conjecture, IMO. I don't think there's work orders that solidly tell a story, so it's pieced together (both the story and the car). |
