Hello my name is John I live in Delaware Ohio. I'm 62. Body Tech for 47 years. I'm what I consider a foster owner. My passion is finding Corvettes that need some love. When I purchase a Corvette I always say this is the one I'm keeping. Soon after I have to find another to restore. My first Corvette I owned was at six years old. It was a go cart with a 61 fiberglass body. Been hooked ever since. Soon I will be posting for some information about my 81 two tone St Louis car. I will be keeping this car...LOL. John

1981 St louis two tone

Tom I believe I have one of the St Louis 2 tone cars. My cousin owned the car for 33 years. All original with 58k miles. I need some info on how the car was painted. It will help me prove that the car is legit. As I understand the car went through the paint line and after they were sent back to be two toned. It has one paint code which is normal. Nor will it be on the build sheet.The car has enamel clear on it the paint is lacquer. Red on red. It has the cross flag emblems on the driver seat and rocker moldings. This was a marking for the St Louis two tone cars. NCRS will not commit 100% that it is original paint. They don't really have another to compare it to because there is only one other. They felt there was around 100 of the cars that GM execs were aloud to be order. Another ncrs guy felt there were fewer than that because they just aren't showing up. I think I know why. I was ready to paint, then I did some research. If anyone has any info please help me out. Thanks John
