Where did these come from?
I could really use some help in identifing some items.
i was told that because of some of the items installed on the car makes it a "Ekhart", "Echart" or "Elkhart" version.(I don't know the exact spelling) Has Anyone heard of anything like this?
I've seen some that were colors of elkhart green, blue and yellow. But this car also has a wing on the back And under the front, not a dam but a wing, it also has 3 tubelike gauge pods coming out of the hood pointing towards the driver. it also has a outdoor temp gauge inside hanging from the t-top divider over your head. any help identifing these items would be most appreciated
Thanks

Elkhart Green is a GM paint color- see my avatar- and is the only elkhart color that exists. All your parts are after market, none were from the factory. The gauges are Autometer and VDO, and the Valve covers and air cleaner look like Edelbrock parts. spoilers- who can say. It looks like one of the Previous owners did some custom work on your Vette, but was smart enough to leave it in such a condition that it is easily undoable. The changes look tastfull and i kinda like them. I'm not really a fan of yellow paint, but some people like it. 
The rims re western wheel turbines- also aftermarket, as are the L48 badges. GM never made a n L48 badge, but I like the styling. look s interesting w/o over doing it.
