Original 70 Owner Manual with Card
Looking for an original 70 Owner's Manual with Card. Part Number will end in 666.
There are a few on eBay but I am hoping someone is willing to part with one for quite a bit less than the ones on eBay.
Thanks,

Owner's Manual
Certainly seems nice enough and I even purchased an NOS front Air Dam form him along with some other stuff.
I will try him.
Hope you are well.
Kind Regards,
Bill

At a tiny swap meet near me a few years ago I found one with the intact Corvette News full card. I almost passed it up. The front had a lot of wear but I paid $75. Now it seems it was a good deal.

Nice find to be sure. I thought for sure the one that came with the car was original until I researched a bit more. Certainly looked the part.
There are a few on eBay. Cheapest with the card is $250 with a lull nicer one for $265. The third one has a $500 OBO and is not nearly as nice as the other two and the card is there but detached. I had NO idea what the originals cost. I was pretty shocked.
Kind Regards,

Bill, I go to the local swap meets here in Texas. I even have a nice location space at our Pate Swap meets. This is a huge four day swap meet. I will look for one for you here but will not pay those exorbitant eBay prices. $100? $150 tops?

I would happily pay $150 for a decent one with a complete card.
Kind Regards,

One just popped up on eBay with the Corvette News card detached but with the manual for $500! The seller is apparently not a part of the hobby but a gouger. Maybe some company or Richard Fortier will reproduce the 666 manual exactly like originals but not with the word “Reprinted” on the back and reasonably priced.

Hi Scott,
I got in touch with David. He had mint owner's manual which I bought. It is like new with the card.
Kind Regards,

That is sweet. And I am happy for you. Having a 666 with the Corvette News card intact is a good feeling. What else are you needing?
I finally managed to get right and left original 1st Design exhaust tips but still look for more. I accumulated several pairs of 2nd Design tips and had them flash chromed. Not perfect but look great for driver 1970-1972 Corvettes. I sold one pair to a ‘72 owner who will attempt Top Flight soon.

Scott
