Don't know the car, but did see it in an email from Mecum as part of the Main Attraction Paul Offutt Collection.

https://www.mecum.com/auctions/kissimmee-2019/collections/paul-offutt-yenko-collection/

Curious why there is no VVS paperwork, and when did Mecum stop putting VIN's in the auction listing?

Mecum stopped listing VINs for most auctions a few years ago. CA auctions will list the VIN.

COPO Connection used to keep a list and issue certificates, but is now defunct. And nobody talks about them anymore.

Yes. But again, there's nothing in the ad that gives a hint of the VIN, body #, or even build date.....

Seller and his collection are well known in the SuperCar / Yenko.net circle. You can check over there if you have a serious interest in buying.

Wonder why the metal dash was replaced on such a low mile car?

Restoring a high-end car in a non-original color is foolish.

tires [G70 x 14] are incorrect
docs list an AM radio
incorrect shift knob
worn steering wheel shroud
missing AIR system including manifolds
missing hood to cowl seal
style trim tail lights
seat belts messed up

Should be near-perfect @ $295,000.

Don't forget the wrong headlight bezels.

no responses should give you the answer your looking for.If you know any of the other cars no responses should give you the answer your looking for.Too much PC in that world.
