Thought some of you might be interested in the Vette my brother and I just bought.
In the NCRS it is generally understood that Black was not available from 1970-1976, the old thoughts were there were ZERO cars painted black, that has been revised SLIGHTLY in the last 15 years... after 2 original paint documented 1972's were presented and then in 2018 the 71 LS5 was brought to light - I have shown the docs to the C3 National Team leader and have been assured there is more than enough documentation for the car to be shown in Black without fear of paint deductions.
71 LT1 ordered and delivered in Black - nearly 20 letters back and forth to GM Overseas distribution regarding the car, paint, the GM strike, car delivery, special paint price, etc.
42k miles original paint.
As of today there are only (2) 1971 and (2) 1972 Corvettes which are documented as being delivered from the factory Black.
FWIW this is the type of docs which are required by the NCRS to show a 70-76 vette painted black
without a total paint deduction for wrong color.
