------JoeC is correct about the junkyard and the never been raced or even driven part.The 12 miles were on it from St.Louis.
------Theres a guy named Duke that posts pretty regularly on the NCRS board that helped the original owner take the 12 mile car apart after it was delivered to his garage on a roll-back.The original owner even gave Duke the distributor as he was going to run magneto ignition.Duke used it in his 63 fuelie for years,and then heard that Dave Burroughs was restoring the car and sent him the distributor so now its back with the car.Original engine supposedly disappeared from the race engine builders shop somewhere along the line.
------After Lincoln sold it and Friendly Bob Adams from Wisconsin ended up with it,I was very close to the car frequently and Im here to tell you that the old car has never had any spot-painting ever done to it that I could find.It has always been my understanding that Lincoln was very careful with the car as they obviously knew it only had twelve miles on it.
------Another close friend of mine in Janesville Wi. bought it from Adams and I used to see it all the time in among his huge collection.
------My friend then sold the car to a three person consortium that included Dave Burroughs,another good friend and the past and just rehired current head of Bloomington Gold.He brought the car back to original specs and did an unbelieveable job as no one in the past had been careful about alot of the parts.
------Then,this past year the car sold to Roger Judski out of Fla.He is also the owner of the other "known" ZL1 Corvette(the yellow one).
------So,there you go.History in a nutshell.A whole book could be written just about this car.
------Also have to apologize for getting away from the original thread......Bill S
