------The yellow one (Roger Judskis) and the white one (Kevin Suydams) are pretty well established. There is also a pretty well known Monaco Orange convert that I believe the original owner still has. It has been to Corvette Carlisle more than once. The fourth is still a bit of a wild card and I cant go any further than that. It wouldnt be fair to the parties concerned at this time, but I have been assured by a very creditable source that it does exist. As far as the other three go,,,honestly not sure how many there were as they were probably cut up. There are many pictures of Zora in an automatic ZL1 coupe. I think it was white. There also would have been at least one 4-speed, but probably more like two,,,hence the figure of seven. The factory test cars are a bit of educated guesswork, but since they were probably crushed, we will never know.
------The same arguement comes up about the two 67 Corvettes with 36 gallon tanks that were supposedly the only two made. We have found that figure to also be a bit out of whack as there has been proof of other 67 tankers (2) that have been destroyed that posatively had big tanks installed at the factory.
------It seems that the published figures that came originally from GM are not always 100% correct but close......Bill S

The hugger orange one is owned by John Maher, it has a Turbo 400. As far as paperwork goes he has a photocopy of the worn-out tank sticker. He does not have the original tank sticker (Corvette tank stickers do not have the serial number of the car on it)nor any other paperwork. Story goes John sold his 1968 L88 to Don Yenko to buy the ZL1 Vette.

I have heard from a credible source also that there is a blue one out there.

Re: Would a 435HP vette be considered a SUPERCAR?

What about Jack Douglass? (*)

Re: Would a 435HP vette be considered a SUPERCAR?
 

I dunno about all this, but I am happy to find a place on the internet were a Corvette is accepted as a musclecar..... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif

usually, I get kicked over in the corner with the suede elbow patch crowd who think that either 6 cylinders are enough or only 12 will do..........

my favorite quote on that subjct came from Paul Zazzarine who said "with the right engine, a Corvette is a muscle car" what engine is that, Paul, the base motor pumped out 300 horses..........

Well, I guess it is time for me to throw in. Where, in the realm of "Supercars" would my lowly 409/425 '63 Impala SS fall?

How about my lowly '68 Impala SS427 [as opposed to a '68 Impala with a 427] fitting in? Both cars were pretty much rocketships, I thought...both 4-gear, posi reared cars. Also, both were 'verts. I always had good responses from them.

I bet if you asked anyone about that impala in 1963 it was pretty SUPER and still is in my mind.

Re: Would a 435HP vette be considered a SUPERCAR?
 

i just thought of one of the sickest Supercars ever. the 1970 Boss 429 Cougar Eliminator!

http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1970-m...eliminator.htm

"The 1970 sales brochure listed the 429 Boss engine, rated 375 horsepower at 5200 rpm, as an Eliminator option. But Ford’s Kar Kraft facility, where 1969-70 Boss 429 Mustangs were built, is known to have assembled only two 1970 Cougar Eliminators with Hemi-head Boss 429 V-8s."

legend has it both are destroyed.
