Now that is different...triple white.
I don't know if I have ever seen one before.

This came out yesterday. I fall in in Phase 1C. Even with having a compromised immune system due to my Lymphoma and explaining that to the NMDOH, they pretty much ignored my pleas for a quicker vaccine date. A$$holes!

What a tragic loss of people and history. Very glad I got to see her in person.

Bill, I do believe it was a taxi. If you look closely you can see the 15" wheels that came with the taxi chassis RPO.

Yes Lee. That was part of the chassis black-out process. Basically anything that was bare steel and might rust while the car was on the dealer's lot. The top half of the lower steering shaft got shot too and the upper control arm cross shaft and the steering box.

Dealer decides the car will be more marketable and easier to sell with Z28 stripes so he orders them and installs them. First owner of the car comes to the dealer, buys the car brand new and the car has both the emblems and the stripes and is none the wiser. Claims years later that's how the car was when he bought it and he bought it brand new. Years later the car changes hands and is restored and the restorer puts both items back on because that's how it was when he started. Maybe the car didn't leave the factory with both but both were on the car before the first owner took ownership so in my opinion is totally correct for this car. If it really bothers you that much that you feel the need to criticize this beautiful car for the most minute detail, why don't you track down the owner and buy the car and correct this MAJOR discrepancy!

First off it is a beautiful car. The scenario you described is totally possible, but wouldn't have come from the factory that way. I was just stating a fact that was discussed in other threads and I'm not the only one that brought it up. That's actually a great thing about this message board. There's a lot of people that know the facts on many different cars and they are openly discussed. There are many people here that want things absolutely factory correct. There are some that aren't so down to the head-marking/date-code correct. I'm sorry I ruffled your feathers. I didn't mean to.

----Kind of weird but I can't see any carb or fuel injection. Am I wrong? I do think I see a transistor ignition coil.....Bill S

It's a little fuzzy and the view is blocked but I'm sure it's there.

Carb/fuel injection is installed back on the motor line, before the driveline is set in the chassis

----Thanks, Keith,,, That's exactly why I asked the question. My brain tells me it has to be there but I just can't make anything out other than the crankcase breather......Bill S

I blew up the photo Bill and I'm sure I can see the base of the AFB and the front left side of it. It's mostly blocked by the ignition shielding.

You can really see there the factory exhaust manifolds were not as they are today. Bare metal or gray, but were orange like the blocks. Odd

Those engines were assembled at Tonawanda where they were painted after the manifolds were installed as opposed to the Flint plant which painted them prior to the manifolds being installed (evidence in the photo of the Corvette line).
