I know Clem, and he is a great guy that has accomplished many things most of us only dream about. He has owned many amazing cars over his lifetime. When the OE or -B or whatever you like to call it, was found, Clem had no idea. He was contacted well after the fact, and to think he still retained paperwork for the car is equally amazing. In fairness to William and JM, I doubt the last thing they ever expected to see is a purple Camaro, who would. The code - B would seem to indicate the car was a stripe delete car since it was determined by them it was Cortez Silver. Now the car and its story lands on team Camaro where I saw it. I immediately knew it was Clem's car, the infamous purple Z/28. When Clem came on board and told the world it was not silver, it was ordered EO, the thread blew up. He was called out, and the theories flew wildly. Everything form Clem didn't know what color HIS car was, to Grabiaks themselves painted the car OE behind his back in some cases. Even after Clem and Sam Grabiak wrote letters about the car, it was still in many peoples mind, silver, after all thats what the report said. I saw all kinds of derogatory comments made by both sides. I never doubted the car was what it was, why would Clem even fabricate such a story? He has no stake in the car anymore. He told his side of the story, and for that he was raked over the coals. To me its over, and the bottom line the car is purple, what shade of purple and just how well GM painted the car is another story. Clem ordered a OE Z/28 and that is exactly what he received to the best of his knowledge...BKH
