It didn't have any stripes on it but perhaps they were installed by the dealer when it got to the final destination.

I am sure about the color as I had a same color '68 400 hp turbo 400 cpe that I had picked up from the local salvage pool and it was still in the bodyshop at that time but almost finished. Because of the color of the coupe being the same as mine, it caught my eye and I stopped and looked it over.

It was still cold in the mornings and this was a Sat and the place where it was setting in their parking lot, was not open.

I drove back by two or three times and it was still there and then after 1 pm it was gone? Never saw it again or persued it any farther. Wish I had.

In the 80's we were visiting family in the Grapevine, TX area and being a young gearhead I was always having to look through the local trader mags. I remember a ZL-1 Vette being listed in the Auto Trader magazine in that greater Dallas area. I bet too if you were to ask John Maher he could tell you if he saw a blue one with his orange one. He says there were 7 along with his.
