GM Autorama C2

[Patrick P.]

A historic Corvette is up for auction (RM Auctions lot 859). It is a shame, as it should be in the Corvette Museum. If you have not seen the Al Wiseman collection outside of Tampa Fl you missed a good one. This 1965 Vette was taken off the assembly line and turned into the neatest and most interesting car I have seen. All major mechanicals are cut away so that you can actualy see them work as if the car is running down the road! Suspention too.The entire power train runs not on gas but AC. You can watch all engine parts etc. move.
I can't believe Al did not loan or donate to the Museum. Maybe no one asked.

I remember seeing the car at an NCRS show, I think Florida Regional some years back, very interesting display.

Very cool display! What's up with the steering wheel? The description calls it the original teakwood steering wheel, which clearly it is not. Looks like the Corvair simulated wood steering wheel. Why would they use a Corvair steering wheel?
