Mike & Toni Sams found this Corvette in Tyrone GA, in a barn and the car was still driveable. They took the car apart and found strange looking things that looked like some kind of scoops. Being a mechanic for years, Mike had no idea what the scoops were. There was a hole in the firewall behind the distributor for a tach cable peculiar to fuel injection model. All these things, plus the 6500 RPM on the tachometer red line led them to believe that this car was a big brake-fuel injected car. The car received a 96.4 which is a Top Flight and a 98.2 at Bloomington in June. Vette Fest gave it received a Gold Spinner with a score of 98.8. That qualified us for a Triple Crown Award. It also received the Best Original Stock Corvette award. The car was marked with a 99.0 at Lake Placid and received the Duntov Award. In October at Knoxville, it won Best of Show. VetteFest featured the car in the showcase and in 1998 at the World of Wheels in Atlanta, it received the Outstanding Antique and Restored Car award.
