I see 2 plausible scenarios here:

1) It could have been repainted by 1977, which would explain the missing stripes. The emblems may also have been changed at that time.

2) This is what I was hinting at before... it may not be a garnet red car originally. What if a customer specifically wanted a cortez silver 427 Chevelle, would Don have pulled a car out of his regular inventory and converted it? This would explain the black crests on this particular car.

I don’t think people were cloning Yenko cars in 1977, were they? Beat up looking with snow tires?
