Re: Interesting story........
[ QUOTE ]
Dan's Yellow/Black GT is a 70..not 74.. And there was only one (the 1st 69 prototype).."possibly" two Phase III GTs that had the stock rear tail lights and not the slotted ones.. And both cars were Hugger Orange w/ Black stripes. So maybe the Yellow one you saw back then was a Baldwin/Motion SS427 Vette perhaps?? Did it have the flat back rear window or the open headlights? No doubt it was a 427 car if it was 69. I believe all GTs from 1970-72 (very few that there were) were 454s. [/ QUOTE ] The car did have the flat back window and may have had the slotted tail lights; I just don't recall them as being so large as the ones in the picture posted a few postings ago. The ones I remember were narrower; more like '67-68 Firebird lights. This car also had the exposed lights, flip top gas cap, "GT" emblems on the tail and the special hood. I disctinctly recall the paint being pearl yellow with black stripes, 4-speed, black interior and cool as hell!!!

Re: Interesting story........
You're right about the 70 Ed.
Dan has so many cars,I forgot which Vette that was.  I think his Blue/white is the 74 then..yes?
