No one likes to be called a liar, so cut him some slack because any of us would have felt the same way. </div></div>

Your wrong. If I were in Clems place I would of stated the facts and left them at that. If people don't want to believe me or call me a liar that fine. Everyone is entitled to there own opinion. I would know deep down inside I was telling the truth and that's all that matters. I wouldn't get on here and act like a third grader with all the name calling. To me someone that goes to that far has something to hide. Clem did the same thing over at TC and CRG. He just wouldn't shut up. I love hearing about the cars and the paint process. But I'm sick and tired of hearing from Clem. Maybe it's time he gets another tread shut down.

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

Who wants to join the Norwood retirees on a tour on the LGR tour?

Where the gen 1,2 and 3 guys meet the Gen 6 guys face to face on the assembly lines?

If there is interest here I can start a seperate event thread.

^^^ Best, most concise written explanation to date that almost anyone can digest, now if Clem could just calm down, and cut the <span style="text-decoration: underline">readership</span> some slack here, that would be great! We're all car lovers and gearheads here.

Rick99, sorry, I only know what I've seen on this thread, and based on that, I think &quot;you're&quot; wrong, but that's all I will say as I have no dog in this fight. I was only basing my opinion on this thread and don't want to get into any ****ing matches with anyone. Cheers everyone.

Clem,

Please just do not take the bait. This thread is going partisan. Based upon what I see on another site (where I happen to be Banned) there are posters there that are also posting here and I see a pattern as we are being cattle herded to a thread lock.

Lets not do that ok?
