Default question on window sticker

Ok finally received my build sheet and window sticker from the corvette museum. My car was the 86th 1993 corvette built. Its quasar Blue. The question I have is my car was delivered to dealer: CPC group engineering center in warren mi. Reading google that's part of GM. Anyone have any info. The car also has 3.45 gears from the factory.

Does it look good as in something to frame? I see they laminate for $5
I don't see any example sheets on the site to get a good feel for what it looks like.

You might have something going for you with the car ordered through the CPC Group...other's I am sure will chime in to confirm...but it would appear that your car is a corporate ordered car and may have been used for testing or to be sold to some fat cat at GM. Do you have any or all the owner history to back track through? If not, you may wish to contact the CPC group for help...or call back to the NCM for further explanation...you might be very impressed with what they have to say.

I hope another does chime in to clarify as this has my interest....good luck either way.

Chances are the car was used for testing purposes. GM did not allow Corvettes to be provided to management or used as "pool" vehicles because of insurance issues.

Once the car was done with any testing program, it was typically sold either through a dealer or through ads place by the unit. At that point, anyone could buy it.

My 87 was originally sold to GM Environmental Engineering in Warren, MI and one year later it was sold to a private party. I have that person's registration certificate. Most GM vehicles that went to the different organizations in MI got the state "Manufacturer's" plate and it could be that there was no registration or title for those vehicles.

yeah i do have the title history of the car I'm only the 3RD owner. The 1st owner was cpc then they sold it in 95 with 3k on the clock the following owner owned it till current but he passed away and i bought the car with 50k on it. His wife did not know anything really about the car he was 70 years old. I will call the museum tomorrow and cpc and keep everyone posted. How could i go wrong for a 10,000 purchase. Not a bad price.

Cars being sold and used by GM must have 3K miles on them before passing them on to other's. This could have been a PEP vehicle, used by one of the management/supervisors there.
