Yes - it was the yellow car. In fact, he ordered it, followed it through the build, then drove it.

The guy sitting on my desk is saying it was somewhat of a pilot car and therefore probably the first built.

Apparently the hood stripe was painted in the repair area of the plant and was such a bear to do that they only did just the one.
