The 67 Corvette is nothing but a scam by the owner who knows nothing
about Corvettes or racing in general.  No Corvettes were eligible for
Trans Am as it was a sedan series not a sports car series.  Title says
"1967 Chevrolet : Corvette gs".  This car is certainly not a Gran Sport
and he has no idea who "Rodger Penski" is. This is just a gussied up
street car.
