Default Autographed 50th anniversary corvette

I just purchased this Vette and found this autograph under the hood on the driver’s side. The initials look like AJP 2004. Can anyone shed some light on who’s initials these are? The picture can be found at http://sv-precious-moments.com/IMG_0015.jpg

Read this. I searched AJP. It's a useful function that few use anymore. This is from years ago but it should answer your question.

The problem here is that 50th cars were manufactured from late 2002 through mid/late 2003. The date of signature says 2004. Not sure what you have there. Do you know the "build date" on your AE ?

The database can be found: http://www.c5registry.com/MembersOnlly/Production/2003/

Enjoy

Enjoy
It didn't necessarily have to be signed when it was built.

I would run with Andy Pilgrim and consider yourself fortunate to have it.
