Vanta Special Edition?

Found this on ebay. It says it is a '91 vert "Vanta 5.7L Special Edition" ... to my knowledge, there is no such thing as a '91 350 vert ... and definitely no such thing as a "Vanta Special Edition." What gives? Anybody know anything about this or is it BS?

Here's the link ...

Re: Vanta Special Edition?

It's a crock, VIN code F which means it was orignally a 305 TPI car. Now as far as someone putting a 350 TPI, maybe and it could have been done by a shop called Vanta but 30k for a car with busted front ground effects I call

IF it was not done by GM (very few) all these special edition cars with the werid names are all BS and a waste of time looking at them.
