Owner 2 said he was told by 1st owner that General motors had this special paint put on to use in their yearly new car show.It still wears that paint. Original drive train,wheels,window,38,000 miles. Hope someone in South Africa may know this car. NCRS#922

If this car is for sale, you need an asking price.

I saw it on ebay as well, interesting story. I would NOT want to be rude, but I remember thinking the paint looks like a very well done (at least lovingly executed) '70's job someone is trying to spin a yarn about and not a promotional paint job from '65. I'll be hoping to hear more.

I am only looking for someone that may remember this car in South Africa so I can find more history.I am not trying to fool anyone.I have have been around the block a little,had vettes for 50 years.It was on ebay last year. Two years ago when I was sick I sold it to a good friend. He put it on ebay,he did not sell it although it bid to 99,000. He let me have it back.
I am taking it to a NCRS show this weekend to have their paint expert look at it.I have seen some of GM show cars and some have heavy metal flake paint. I am not making any claims only trying to complete history of the car. We are only caretakers of these neat cars.

Sorry to hear that you were sick. Kind a lost touch since I moved to AZ. Was hoping you could have gotten all the history on the Vette. It is a neat Corvette. Hope you can get some help at Auburn. He dose know Corvette paint. GOOD LUCK.
