Sorry for the off-topic request here but Hib, I notice you are in socal. I live in Brea and also have a 95 ZR-1. How can I get in touch with you? Monty

Hmmm, a 1963 Grand Sport racer high bid to $4.9 mil, a 1963 ZO6 racer sold for $1.05 mil. Being the lucky owner of a real deal 1988 B9P Corvette Challenge racecar driven by Jeff Andretti, I think I like the direction of corvette race car prices! :beer Of course the 88 & 89 Challenge cars will...

Do you know what the date codes are on the tires and rims?

Whatever the new auction buyer has to pay for them next week, he will double his money over the next five - ten years if he can hold them that long without driving them that is.... :beer

I recently purchased 1958 and 1963 corvettes which are both in need of restoration. I would like to get your opinions on some of the best shops for restoration services near Brea, CA, 92821, which is located in northern Orange County in southern California. I’d prefer good quality at a...

Thanks.

Anyone here have suggestions for the best places (internet or magazine) to adveritise for the previous owners of a specific corvette? The car I'm looking for information on is a '63 Coupe that I'd like to find any previous owners who might know the history and originality on. Thanks for any...

I've learned from a couple of sources at GM that my car, the one mentioned previously with the handwritten Arctic Pearl color change, is not considered to be a COPO car. It is what GM calls an "authorized override of a production build". Changes (Overrides) such as this must be noted on the...

Thanks Lee. It sounds like you're still working at GM? Any possibility of an M. Bolinz, with a Z? The handwriting is kind of tough to tell.

Great info there Lee. My car is one of the 5 cars that were “special” ordered with the Arctic Pearl paint very early in the 1989 regular production run (#3655). All the other Pearl cars were “pilot” cars. All 5 five of these “regular production” Pearl cars were noted in handwriting on the...

Hi Tyler, I'm not sure I follow what you meant in your post. The build sheets that I currently have came directly from GM North American Operations back in 1995. The previous owner had requested the build sheets on all the Pearl cars and actually received them (must have better connections...

Rob, Overall it looks great. I've made a few changes below. I'm not sure that "Prototype" would be a proper description. As I've noted, it is 1 of only 5 that was was built during the regular production cycle. It's also not one of the "pilot" cars as is stated in some of of the corvette...

Rob, I recently read some comments about posting full VIN numbers on the internet. Is there any reason why this might not be a good/safe thing to do? What could anyone do with a VIN number? Just being naive. Thanks. Monty

I see you have the notation from Mike Antonick's Corvette Black Book. My car is one of those 27 Arctic Pearl cars. Hey the pic made it as a jpg. * - Note: According to the Corvette Black Book by Michael Antonick: "Though not listed on 1989 exterior color availability charts, Chevrolet...

Rob, I don't have any really nice pictures that would do the car justice at this point. I've been intending to get some close up shots to try to show the paint and the notation on the radiator shroud from the MPG testing. Having the car included in your 1989 Model Section would be great...
