Congrats on your awards Tim, I saw your name and mention of your car in either the last NCRS mag or the last copy of Vette Views.

The last character on my Brandshatch Green LT1 is offset which caused one person to question it when it listed for sale prior to my purchasing the car - the fact that it still had the original steel shim head gaskets, intake gaskets, the original freeze plugs, and the engine had never been repainted was all I needed to see to be confident there was no monkey business.


As far as Black 71's... there are currently 2 71's which can be proven to have been painted Black in St Louis. A LS5 2 top auto AC leather roadster and LT1 coupe ordered without radio...

The one thing they have in common is they BOTH specified BLACK when ordering WITH an alternate color listed- Brandshatch Green on the LS5 and Silver on the LT1.
On the LT1, GM overseas distribution also required a non refundable $1000 deposit, before accepting the order or even providing the charge($83) to paint the car black.
