WE WILL OMIT SOME INFO TO PRESERVE PERSONAL INFORMATION BUT THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED BY AN OWNER OF CORVETTE RESTORATION SHOP IN FLORIDA AND BECAUSE THIS CAR WAS SO CORRECT IN DATE CODES AND NUMBERS MATCHING, HE PERSONALLY PARTICIPATED IN THE RESTORATION PROCESS. ONCE IT WAS FINISHED IT WAS ADDED TO HIS PERSONAL COLLECTION. IN 2011 FAMOUS AMERICAN BUSINESSMAN RICK HENDRICKS VISITED HIM AT THE SHOP AND ENDED UP PURCHASING THIS CAR. EVENTUALLY HENDRICKS SOLD THE CAR AT KKM COLLECTOR AUCTIONS IN NORTH CAROLINA. AFTER AN EXCHANGE OF A FEW MORE HANDS IT IS NOW BEING SOLD HERE AT EXOTIC MOTORSPORTS OF OKLAHOMA!
