2018 C1 of Year Finalist

Default got this at automotive swap meet

It was at a booth where Noland Adam's grandsons' were selling off some of Noland's corvette/car stuff. I talked to his grandsons for a little while about how important he was to our hobby.

Very nice. Zora signed 283 of those along with 5 artist proofs. I was lucky enough to buy number 1 of the 5 proofs. it proudly hangs in my home office.

very cool!

I was really careful with it going home. This one has AP/283. I think it was an artist proof of 283??? Not sure either way it is NOT for sale!

Very Cool back at you,

Yes, AP/283 means it was one of the 5 artist proofs. Did you get the certificate of authenticity with it? If so, it should tell you what # it is. At least mine does. I got mine from the producer of these at a Corvette show in Palm Springs, when they first came out, many years ago I believe.
