I've also seen the yellow one at Roger's Corvettes in Orlando. A beautiful restoration. He has a whole building full of sweet vettes, the back wall has the ZL1, some L88s and some other extra-special cars.

You are all mistaken.
I have seen and touched all three. The White one, the yellow one, and the orange one.
Now which two are real is a question that gets kicked around occasionally. The orange one is the original owner, so I guess you can say it is real.
The white one and the yellow one were at Bloomigton years ago. The orange one has been to Carlisle and was at the NCRS Winter Regional last year.

According to The Black Book, 2006 issue, there were only two. If the third exists, which is entirely possible, it surfaced just this year.
I'd love to have one, but hate it too. You couldn't drive it!

As I recall the price it brought at Government auction was no where near what it was being hyped on the INTERNET to bring. Somewhere north of $300,000 but less than $400,000 as I recall.

Orange automatic and the Yellow M22 are the two documented cars, the White car had to be dealer built hence the dealer paperwork but no factory documentation.
I have seen the Orange car car at Carlisle and the owner is always there willing to talk about the car. He even cranked it up for me and the sound was incredible. It was running an iron block, open Hooker 4-inchers and Torque Thrusts. It had the blue stripe over the top but not all the decals on it at the time.

I remember wondering how the goverment was bright enough to know it wasn't just another '69 Vette....
