Nice car! Is it original paint do you know? Another true survivor? Great car!

Original paint. Saw it at Corvettes at Carlisle this past year. Very nice paperwork. Good patina looks like a legit 7,800 mile car.
Side pipes look like later model or hooker style as the early GM pipes had 4 tubes into a flat chamber then into the side pipe.

----Those headers appear to be original O.K.Kustoms. They were one of the original suppliers to GM (the main one). You could also buy them over the counter at many speed shops. The OTC sets didnt have the GM part #s stamped in them but were otherwise exactly the same!
----I cant say who made the flat-chamber sets, but they were predominantly pre-68. I found a set of them at Tracys years ago and they now reside on one Bill Towers cars.....Bill S

I did a frame off on a 67 car that had the early style headers. They were the set off the silver L-88 roadster in Noland Adams book.
