Up for sale is a highly collectible, investment-grade copy of the definitive biography: "Zora Arkus-Duntov: The Legend Behind Corvette" by Jerry Burton.

EXCEPTIONAL PROVENANCE & DUAL SIGNATURES: This copy is a phenomenal piece of Corvette history, featuring two distinct signatures obtained during the Corvette 50th Anniversary celebrations: Jerry Burton (Author): Signed cleanly on the main title page. He also provided a wonderful, personalized event inscription on the preceding page: "To Bob and Sharon! Happy Corvette 50th! Best wishes, Burton. 9.22.02. Mid America Funfest." Elfi Arkus-Duntov (Zora’s Wife / "First Lady of Corvette"): Signed beautifully as "Elfi Arkus-Duntov" directly underneath the stunning black-and-white portrait of Zora. Because Elfi passed away in 2008, her autograph is incredibly rare and highly sought after by Corvette historians. Condition Report: The book is in overall Excellent/Very Good condition.
