Where is #500,000?

I own a '77 and believe Corvette #500,000 was made sometime that year. Anyone know the VIN and current wherabouts of this car? I think it was a white L-82?

I think Chevrolet owns it. There were some pics of it lined up with the 1,500,000 th car a few weeks ago.

There was a picture of all 4 milestone cars in front of the Corvette Museum a while back. All are white.

March 15th, 1977 if memory serves.
There is an article in an old Corvette News of that time giving information about the car and the fellow who got it originally.

Based on prior production, it appears that #500,000 would be #26,703 for 1977.
