I called on the car today. The seller stated that in the notes the right door and front lower valance has been painted. For what reasons he didn’t know. He texted some photos of touch ups of nicks and scratches on right door and quarter, top rear deck and upper left quarter. If you look at the weather stripping it’s dry rotted pretty bad on the left windshield pillar. He also stated that the door weather stripping was dry rotted also. The cars body appears to be straight. The interior is in great shape with a little wear in the carpet on the drivers side. Color combination is outstanding with Trophy Blue being the second rarest color in 66. I know of a 66 coupe 450hp the same color combination. Would love to own both of them.

A very good friend of mine bought a 66 convertible 390 horse big block car that has identical colors. He found it at an estate sale, and it had not run in over 25 years, and overall condition was a little rougher than this one, but it's original paint and the interior is in very nice shape. I helped him get the motor running - he had to pull the heads to get a valve job because one of the valved had seized in the guide, but we have it running quite nicely now. He is going to wheel out the paint and drive it as an unrestored survivor this summer. Pretty nice find. He has documented his progress on one of the midyear Corvette FB groups.

Stirring the pot on acknowledging issues? Come on now. Come down off that high horse for a minute. There are countless posts of people calling out issues on cars. I make a few statements and I’m the bad guy here? I never said anything about the pad or the tags. I never called out anyone in this thread outside of what I’ve seen from the ad. Unless me asking why any of the vette guys hadn’t spoken up which was a question not a call out. Idk who made the fake docs nor do I care. Just pointing out things I see as bogus and would hope someone would do the same if I was looking at a car. I wouldn’t care if it was a 300hp car, a L78 Camaro or a 6cyl Nova. Things like this need to be discussed so everyone can learn. If what I have said has gotten under anyones skin then feel free to pm me. I’ll gladly have a discussion.

Documents were done for BG as per BG requirements. This is from the owner of the car at that time. You are correct, Dan.

Since I know nothing about BG or NCRS.. Since they (or just BG) require a window sticker do they require the doc to be aged as well?? Not trying to start anything or stir any pots as I know in the Camaro world this is done to deceive..

They elected to put big poppi Ortiz in the baseball hall hall of fame but left out all the other phd users. Corvette judging is ok to have restamped engines . Is it ok with Camaro/ chevelle judging?

Good question. I have not looked over the newly released judging guide for 69 Camaro’s. I sure hope they would not be ok with it.
