Hi Dan. I have a Sebring Silver/ Red Fuelie Coupe. Hasn't been judged. Immaculate never touched body, immaculate frame, ORIGINAL engine, fuel unit, no restamp. May not top flight because it now has flawless BC/CC Glassurit paint, and engine compt detail looks more survivor than pretty. This car was a show car with custom multi color red/black/silver paint scheme by John Vance in '73. Always been garaged since then. Jerry Brewster owned it in 73, Bill Beard owned for the next 20years, then Corvette Mike in Anaheim purchased the Bill Beard collection, and I bought it from Mike in 93. Buddy Herin in Corpus Christi,Tx found the original short block for this car at about that same time and I purchased the original short block from him at that time. I'd take $125k for the car now. Sorry for the long post but thought maybe some of those mentioned might get their memories jogged and respond re the car. Gary

Gary:
Sounds like a nice car and priced fair, but it won't work for me due to the paint (too nice for NCRS judging).
Thanks, Dan

Dan,

I have a white 3 owner fuelie coupe that is pretty special and nicer than my 64 fuelie coupe that was 4X Top Flight, Bloomington Gold and Chicago Vette Fest Triple Spinner Award. I think it would meet and probably exceed your expectations. 160
