I'm going to look at what might come out of "Temptation". I planted and saved seed from the old pre-GM Temptation corn some years ago.   Temptation is the variety that was often the commercial comparison variety for sweet corn trials.
I noticed that the seed within an individual ear was more variable than most corn, with larger and smaller kernels, yellow and white kernels, etc. I grow the f2 out this year. I plan to separate out by kernel type with the f3 seed this fall. From there the road is open.

How did this project go, did you save seed?
