Nice bench seat, 1968 Mopar side marker lights, aftermarket side pipes and to top it off an alternator which wasn't used on a vette till 1963. Real 1958 vintage performance parts.

Is it one of the mules or the actual test car? He doesn't say. The mag body would be an absolute bitch to restore, I know from my experience with the stuff on Beechcraft and other airplanes. 70 clams for that thing man o man.

No, I don't think it is a Mule, it is a Fiberfab body on a Corvette... see some of the comments on "Bring a Trailer". Just looking at the details I agree that it is a Fiberfab or similar fiberglass body and not the real deal.

I am thinking "Yo-Dan" got "Yo-taken" for a ride. (I may be wrong but I don't think so)

The seller is talking about the Corvette SS which raced at Sebring in 1957. That car had a suspension failure after a few laps. The mule the seller is refering to was bought by Ed Cole who rebodied it. The new body resembled the 1963 Sting Ray and was raced in SCCA competition and won the C modified class around 1960. The car became a show car after its racing career was over. Nothing I read ever mentioned a third mule chassis so I think the seller is mistaken.

Clearly the car isn't a proto-mule. His description even leaves it open to interpretation by indicating it was his father who stated all the history. Which is essentially saying the history is unsubstantiated.

How that will shake out when the buy determines it really isn't the mule is hard to say. Technically, the buyer had all the information to make an informed decision. I would say 70k is one whale of a price to pay for a Fiberfab Corvette on a late 50's chassis.
