I'm on a Corvette forum, and there is a question regarding his possible purchase of a red 1966 Corvette, in September 1988. There is a copy of a dealer's receipt showing SRV put a $500 check as a refundable deposit on 9-24-88, to hold the car until 6:30 PM on 9-27-88. A month later the amount, or maybe the check itself, was returned. There's also a notation about "Paid in full" but it's not clear if the entire purchase was paid, or just the deposit.
Anybody remember anything about this?

Mike, that's certainly worth asking. I posted your suggestion on the car forum but nobody has followed up yet. One would think that a car once owned by a "big name" would be remembered as such even if it was sold a couple times. Oh well, it wasn't me who started that search, I am just trying to help them out. Thanks for the suggestion!

| According to what I see on the internet, that car was sold at a Barrett-Jackson Collector Car auction in 1989 for an undisclosed price. The car had been purchased by Vaughn only a year before, on 9/24/1988. |

Thank you Donnie, I have posted that to the thread which asked. Someone on that thread had a listing of his estate and the car was not on it. Glad to hear it was auctioned off and is probably in a collection, rather than being wrecked.
