Maher ZL1 in Corvette Fever: Question

[zl1vette]

An earlier post commented that the orange car owned by Maher could be the white convertible that Zora set up for the press. However, that test session occurred in Feb 1969 and the Maher Corvette has a sale date of 12-30-68. The white convertible also had a four speed Muncie transmission as reported in the May 1969 issue of Road & Track, so that would disqualify these two cars as the same.

The test car that Zora set up with the automatic transmission was a red T-top coupe. There is a photo of it in the Oct 1969 Motor Trend.

Corvette Fever also reports that Maher was a friend of Don Yenko, and their August 1992 issue has an article with paper work that shows a Yenko purchase of a 1966 L88 Corvette roadster. This car of course does not show up on any of the sales sheets as it was not sold to the public. Maher's car was invoiced through Chevy dealer West Penn Garage.
