Mr. Gilles Bureau?s goal was to drive from his hometown to Montreal as quickly as possible.Ordered with 18 factory options, this Tanker quite literally checks every box. Finished in Rally Red with a Black Leather interior, it features the L79 327/350-horsepower engine, Muncie M20 4-speed manual transmission, G81 4.11 Positraction rear axle, J50 vacuum power brakes, N40 power steering, K66 transistorized ignition system, N14 side-mounted exhaust, A31 power windows, A01 Soft Ray tinted glass, A82 headrest seats, N36 telescopic steering column, N32 teakwood steering wheel, P48 aluminum fast take-off knock-off wheels, P92 whitewall tires, U69 AM/FM radio, and U74 hazard warning switch.Mr. Gilles Bureau explained in a handwritten letter to restorer Bruce Smith in the early 1990s that shortly after taking delivery of the Tanker, he took it to a performance shop and had the camshaft swapped for a higher-lift version and the carburetor rejetted for more performance. Included with the letter was a copy of a speeding ticket he received for traveling 150 KM/H in a 70 KM/H zone, and a photo of him with the Corvette on delivery day in front of his father's dealership.The Corvette would change hands over the years until ultimately ending up in the collection of renowned Tanker enthusiast K.D. James, who is well-known in Corvette circles for his passion for Big Tank Corvettes and his impressive collection.Eventually, the Tanker found its way into the garage of Corvette restorer Bob Gregory. When K.D. decided to sell the car, Bob immediately contacted Bruce Smith and told him, You have to buy this car. Bruce, a dedicated Corvette enthusiast, jumped at the opportunity and acquired the Tanker.Though the Corvette was in need of a full restoration, Bruce, his brother Scott, and Bob were up for the challenge. Together, they completed a comprehensive restoration. Bruce even managed to trace the ownership history all the way back to the original owner, with whom he corresponded.Once the restoration was complete, Bruce decided the Corvette deserved to be shown for the first time back in its home country of Canadaat the 2002 Quebec NCRS Regional in July of that year. He would go on to exhibit the Tanker at numerous NCRS events, earning multiple Top Flight awards.After 28 years of ownership, Bruce passed the car on to a new caretakerhis friend Joe Verrillo, a Corvette collector, restorer, and owner of Verrillo Motor Car Co. in Clifton Park, NY. Joe would take the Tanker back out for judging and earn an NCRS Top Flight Award, a Bloomington OEM Gold Award, and most recently, a MCACN Gold Spinner and Triple Diamond Award.--- The MSRP and window sticker on each car is based on the original equipment of the car when first purchased to give the customer an idea of the value of the car before it changed hands.
