That is the early phase III pilot Red/Red. I am about 95% sure thats #003. The car is one of the first 17. It is not #004, #010, #016. The same car was at Riverside and about 10 other 1988 magazines. There were 4 early media Phase III Pilots, 1 Red/Red, 1 Yellow/black, 1 White/Red, 1 White/black. When looking at these early 89s first thing is look at the expansion tank. If it is white it is pre 55. Black after 60. If it is Phase III it is <#16. Phase III can be determined by the Machined PVC setup.

This is an interesting one for a challenge collector, this car is about 10 miles from my house:

What is interesting on these Pilots is the changes made. The LT5 emblems were replaced by ZR-1s and the valve cover emblems were also later added. I have all of the 1988 magazines. I have studied them closely. One thing when trying to ID a media car is they often will substitute other file photos. When the media cars hit France there are a few stock old phase three LT5 pictures used. All of the Europe cars hat Phase IV LT5s with white tanks. most likely #40 to #60 range. The articles that appear after 6/89 almost all feature the European press cars. Then #074 appeared in some magazines from 8/89 to 1/90. Mostly small circulation and regional stuff, Vette, LA Times etc. The France cars appear to have been handed over to Engineering. I think ZR-12 is a France car, The 24 Hour record car is a France car. They maybe the only two left that crossed the pond.

Brett,I dont have access to a scanner but Ill figure out how to get you the article.There is a black-black car that also has a white expansion tank.Theres an article on the active cars but the photos dont show the vented hoods,did these cars have the vented hoods from the start or did they come out later?The issue I have was new when I got it years ago,Ive read this book from cover to cover more times than I know.

Does non running mean no engine or just not a working engine.
