Well they certainly are enough previous sink holes (~250) such that there must be some experience in the area filling up these things.

I wonder what "oversee" means from GM on rebuilding? Help or just looking in from time to time?

Here is the only spider pic I have from the time back before my brick was laid.

I have to ask, does anyone know why GM changed the color on this car from silver / yellow to black/red? Any ideas?

While this combination is beautiful, I remember this car coming out about the same time as Callaway's lime green Speedster and I thought silver/yellow was WILD!

I also remember now too, wasn't there a Spyder done in red too? I know there was. It was like Torch Red, but with crushed glass in the paint. ...And no, I am not talking about 50th anniversary paint!

I always thought there were 2 cars,a silver and a dark red.In fact there was only the one car.

Maybe your right Jeff. But I am on it now...going to look through some old Vette mags. Besides, I promised another member an article from an old mag.

I remember when this car was built and around that same time I thought there were 2,ASC did one and G.M. either did one or another company one under contract to G.M. did the other.Both cars in question were Spyders with short windshield.

They are the same car.Theres a picture somewhere of the car as it is now and there are some details on the motor that are this same bright yellow of the interior when it was silver.[IMG][/IMG]

I would hope the extraction is fully documentation by video as well as the condition of the cars once out and the restoration process. I believe this whole ordeal many will find sad, but fascinating!!!

Dunno, but the black had a redruby pearl finish. Does anyone know what Year /month it was in vette magazine

I have the photo binder from ASC on this car
