This specific LS5 SS 454 convertible was a customer order for the original owner and was built in Kansas City, MO, on June 7, 1972, near the end of the production run, then delivered to Ed Kelly Chevrolet in Clairton, PA. The first owner took possession on June 29, 1972, and rust-proofed and undercoated the vehicle. He documented in the Owner's Manual service notes, including mileage until April 1987, writing 42,036 miles. On May 14, 1998, the car was sold to the second owner in Pennsylvania, at which time the title mileage was marked Exempt. The car was repainted once in 2014; however, it was not totally restored.
