Panama 58

I should have been more clear. The part I was objecting to was the fourth element that takes it from a Triple Black to a Quadruple Black. Go back and read it and I think you will see what I mean. I have no issues with the rest of the post, just the racists remark.

I see what your saying, I misunderstood your post.

It was not my intention to offend anyone's PC sensibility and I apologize. Ironically, the infamous "quadruple black" remark was borrowed from my co-worker who is: A) Black B) A 25 year personal friend and churchmember C) Laughing hysterically at the misinterpretation D) All of the above. Perhaps I should have said "#4 Black tires"! Albeit, there's probably a hypersensitive rubber tree out there that would not like the reference. As for the numbers matching, block stamping issue; the person in search of the triple black car was emailed and my contempt for number fanatics and forgers was made quite clear.
My love for Corvettes started with the television series "Route 66" -- the car, not the route number.

I'm sorry to be dense, but you just completely lost me with the quadruple part. I wasn't hypersensitive, I didnt understand your post. I didn't know what an "add" was (do you have an ad someplace with a car for sale? I missed that). I also just did not even get the "Afro"-American reference... haven't heard that one since the Jeffersons... now reading your posts it was just an unclear poor attempt at humor. I get it, I've done that plenty of times.

I do also miss you point on the numbers, too. While you obviously have some disdain for correct numbers, my point was simply that if someone if buying a car looking for a real trim tag, it seemes odd if that buyer doesnt care about the NOM. At that point, the real trim tag loses its value for the most part. I understand that trim tags and engines can be faked. I'm saying why look for a real trim tag with no real motor? That value is gone.

Incidentally, I chased cars from California to Connecticut to specifically find a real code 900 tag car... I'm not criticizng him for that.

I think this whole thread is gone...

Dang.

I attempted to respond but it mysteriously vaporized. The reference was to an advertisement (the extra "d" was a typo). I try to encourage novice Corvette persons not to become too obsessed with #'s as they will enjoy the car process a lot more. I've gone full circle...

*Advance apology to any obese circles out there.

"lighten up Francis"

It is an obscure movie quote but rather appropriate, I saw nothing racist in the remark.

I thought this thread was about a triple black vette?
