Hey, neighbor, how's it going? :seeya

Just looked in my Black Book, and I'm guessing you've got the same book. No new info. Is it black vinyl, or black leather? I noticed there's no code for the black vinyl, as it's the standard trim. What's the paint code say?

That's definately a 71 Vin. The trim code is strange but there have been a couple other discrepancies that we know of. Please add your car to the registry: http://www.71corvette.com
