I didn't recognize it with the hardtop. Google said CF but I didn't try to follow it.
That was some rack!
I can imagine you're glad it's gone.
The holes from my rack have been filled for more than 10 years too. While my car lives a pretty easy life there's no sign of them either…. and it's acrylic lacquer.
Regards,
Alan

What is the deal? I realize that in 1970, the logger racks were a dealer installed item, so who knows what rack the dealer might have used? Or, one of the owners may have installed it, so who knows which one they installed? It may have been a luggage rack from a later model? I really don't want to put a rack back on it, but hear the bad stories, that the repairs on the luggage rack holes often do let last because the fiberglass repair shrinks. I feel like I HAVE to put a luggage rack back on. Who knows about a Vette luggage rack that is 41" apart? Talk to me, plz!
