I believe this car still has it's original tank sticker. This car was part of the Corvette Legends Invitational. B. Perrone, who is the second owner, had it at the show.

----Have seen this beauty several times at Corvette Carlisle. Back then it was sort of day-2 with great American Racing wheels and Goodyear bluestreaks and sounded absolutely awesome. One of my favorites. I'll bet some of you also have seen it back then....Bill S
