Bill drove many of the GM show cars on a regular basis - as long as they were street legal. In all the writeups, nothing is mentioned about him being given the car when he retired.

And not all of the show cars that he drove were Corvettes. This was his 1972 SD-455 Trans Am Firebird. The SD-455 became a production option in 1973. This is a 1 of 1 car. It's also the first TA with a "Screaming Chicken" on the hood
