Expensive? You should be able to find one under $200k all day, why even entertain that?

You are just encouraging more of the same pricing.

I know the car. Its a former SAAC Gold car. So its a nice example, but for that price you can buy a nice KR convertible

No, but I have this

I bought this car in about 1989 from a Corvette dealer in the Leesburg, VA area. He had picked it up locally to flip it. It was a non running roller at the time and I recall it was reasonably complete and solid.

In 1990 I sold it to Mike Hufnagle, who is mentioned in the Registry. He commenced a restoration and repainted it in Boss 302 yellow, as he did not like the original fleet WT6066 fleet yellow. After 15 years, he still had not finished it and consigned it back to me. I sold it again in August of 2006 to Ben Wagoner of Bakersfield, CA.

Ben commenced to re-restore it, including, as I recall, putting it back to the correct color. I visited him in August of 2007 and took the attached photos. He also gave me a ride in it and I remember that it ran very well! I saw it again at SAAC 38 in Fontana, CA in 2013, where it won Division II gold.

Ben advertised it here on the Forum in 2019. It went unsold for a long time. I contacted him maybe a year after the ad originally appeared as I had a customer for the car, but he had just sold it.

I am friends with both Mike Hufnagle and Ben Wagoner. If anyone has interest in #3661 I can ask them if it is OK for you to contact them. I also probably have my 1989 file on the car somewhere in my archives, but I would have to dig it out.
