    Re: Very Cool '65 Coming Up For Auction

    Was it there for flight judging? I'd be curious to know how it scored.

        Mike,
        It was in Concours Judging, due to being painted with a Cadillac color vs the trim tag specs.

            OK, did it get the "427" Award?

                I know this car very well. It was the first 396/427 car made by Corvette. It was both and engineering car and a show car. It appeared in Michigan show in 1978 and was featured in the NCRS Restorer article. The frame front cross member was hammered to accept the large balancer. I have over 200 pages of history if anyone wants to discuss, call me. I know the owners well.

                            That makes more sense.
