Except for a few appearance enhancements like an exhaust plate, SS Inserts, waterfall emblem, a compass, a cup holder, rotor hats and a transmission cooler, she’s stock.

Does a high performance hood seal and a magnetic drain plug count as not stock? Oh yeah - I have an "I Love My Corvette" license plate frame in the back....

Mechanically stock with minor appearance add ons: exhaust plate, SS Inserts, waterfall emblem, door sill plates.
As a recovering modder, this is the very first vehicle I've ever left stock in 37 years of vehicle ownership. It's fast enough for me and I'm enjoying dependable driving much more than the wrenching/troubleshooting days of my mis-spent youth.

several years ago, i talked with some people that owned a 69, black on black, 350/350/4-sp, sidepipe'd, coupe. now that's a great combo, and the car was 100% original, but it was almost to the point of being unsafe for the sake of "total" orginallity. it had the original plugs wires, belts hoses, leaky calipers, etc.. it was well worn, and lacked from just general maintenance. like anything, sometimes you can take this stuff too far...
