Same license plate # for both cars, although the firewall has a "W" on it which the Red car has.


Don
Honestly, I'm not sure but I beleive it is. I know Jim had been able to get a Chevy 4 speed close ratio for the red GTO which was only avalible on the Corvette. The GTO's only had wide ratios at first.

This car also has a console that I never saw in the Red GTO through the years. Maybe Tenney can answer that question. Don't go by the plates. Those would make there way onto many cars.

Sorry.



The red car has p/s and underhood light - neither of which are apparent here. Also, Jim Wangers told me that the red car was built for - and participated in - only the Car and Driver test. It would become his company car thereafter.
