This is the engine that was on display at Ellingson Car Museum (they do not own it), I was incorrect on which one was on display since both #4 and #5 were sold at the same time. It is #5. It has not been installed or fired and has been at the museum since the beginning when it was purchased from Friendly Chevrolet here in MN.
This was the second lowest number available to the general public. #1 stayed with GM, #2&3 went out for promotional purposes/magazines/sweepstakes things.
The owner does not have the original crate, the hat, and if it originally came with a starter it does not now. He has a ZZ430 jacket, but it's #4 not 5. It still has the original air cleaner with ZZ430 decal and original valve covers.
He's asking $9500, though I bet he would come down a little for a local person. Contact me if you're interested or pass the word on.
For specific engine details and it's significance, refer back to this newsletter from last year:
