Zora would have lost his lunch if he saw this thing.

Maybe that's the kind of autograph the guy is talking about... :U

I have seen this car before; it's ugly as hell, but it has a Matchbox aspect which I'd have loved when I was a kid...

No. Those repro steering wheels were widely available several years ago.

Using the same logic, my steering wheel is also "autographed" by Zora...

The steering wheel I have is non-stock but has his signature stamped in the metal. I'm guessing that's the same as this steering wheel, as they look like the same style. :smash:

That thing's pretty ugly, but I'd love a better look at the polished rear suspension and front-steer rack and pinion!

Hey, it's got a coil over rear suspension utilizing what look to be fairly stock IRS components.

Hey, anything is possible. Zora traveled the Corvette circuit fairly regularly. He autographed lots of things. It's entirely possible he autographed the steering wheel in question. AND it's entirely possible the steering wheel in question was not in this car when Zora signed it!!!
Notice no one is beating a $10K path to the seller's door.

A one of a kind, true show car as evidenced by winning the coveted "George Barris" award twice between 1978 and 1981.
I think he meant CHUCK Barris. :D In my opinion...GONG HIM!!!!!!!! :crazy: :smash:

Oh dear, someone else remembers that show. Perhaps the seller is the Unknown Comic!
