Just Received Shipping Data Report
I decided to get the Shipping Data Report for my 1965 Corvette Coupe. I discovered the GM official date was 1/21/1965
The official dealer was Dealer code 180, zone 0
The name and location for the dealer was listed as GM Design Group MI
Any ideas why it went there?

This is my first C2 Corvette and trusted my good friend Greg Wyatt at Vintage Corvettes in Summerville, Ga. to locate a C2 Corvette to purchase. It took about a month to find just the right C2. It came out of a collection in RI. I am very pleased with my purchase. I highly recommend Greg for anybody thinking about purchasing a C2 Corvette. He has been in the 1953-1967 Corvette since the 1980's. Take a look at his web page www.vintagecorvettes.com

That was "Styling" at the GM Tech Center - car was ordered for GM Company Service, and later sold at a discount to an employee. Most Company Cars were delivered directly to the ordering unit's offices and dealer-prepped in their Garage rather than delivered through a dealer.

Looks like a typical "Brass Hat" car GM execs got in the day. Surprised it didn't come with the N03 tank and side exhaust.

I can't say enough good things about Greg Wyatt at Vintage Corvettes. He walked me through what he looks at prior to a purchase. I was able to get in contact with the guy who Greg purchased the car and he was able to put me in contact with the guy who restored the car. I have spoken to both on numerous occasions and discovered the car took 3 years and 3,000 hours. He provide me with photos of the restoration from beginning to end.
