-----Desmond,,,I saw the car in question in 1970 not 1979. 1970 is a long way from 1979 but no harm no foul! As you can imagine I remember the red interior vividly as you just didnt see a car like that every day. The thing was striking, but the kid couldnt drive it. A lot of kids back in the late 60s/early 70s from the Palm Beach area got cars that were over their heads operationally. Id bet he either hurt the car early on or got a bunch of tikets and probably got rid of it .....Bill S

Your post says Feb. 1979 redalert.

By "new" 1970 LT1 Vette I just figured 'new to you' as your car would have been 9 years old by then.

If it was in fact 1970 then you definitely saw this car. Nothing is known of it before '76 so you probably saw it in the hands of its first new owner after it was released from the press pool.

------So it does! I just now spotted the typo in my post. I apologize. It was 1970 and I had my LT1 for about a month. It was the first one in Ft.Lauderdale........Bill S

Fat fingers Bill! The "9" and the "0" are right next to each other!
