Hi Folks:

I am actively looking for a modified c-3 corvette. The only reason I choose this forum is that it is active. I recently sold a car and I have a lead on a motion-equipped car that is for sale about 400 miles from me. I was about to jump in the car tommorrow and look at the car, but the owner just pissed me off, he just told me he needs cash (at this late hour) instead of the wire transfer that I offered him (cash would be fine if he told me during bsnk hours).

Listen, I am in the need of a corvette, prefer a mako bideied car but will listen to offers on anything, no roted or rusted junk, but I will lokk at anything else. I would like a chrome bumpered c-3 mako bodied or modified, but I'll look at anything, including a modified c-1 or c-2.
I am taking calls till 10

opm tonighte and later in the week. Thanks for your help. Ron Bajorek (585) 748-8777.

1001PA is the pricing code used, don't know how much PA was but the cost was variable depending on qty of cars ordered and other factors determine at the time of order.

926 972?9 (5 digits) is the Dupont mixing formula
926 = Non-metallic body color
972?9 = don't know (There were 1000's of possible colors.)

Maybe a Dupont paint shop can id it for you if they have knowledge. Most paint stores around here have little to no info on older paint colors and worse yet, don't care to even try to find out.

1001PA is the cost code.These varied,but the PA code was a $25.00 cost.
926 is indeed a Non Metallic.
972 9 does not appear in any of my Chevrolet Special Paint pages.There are 5 digit codes and nothing comes close.Can you recheck these real close.It looks like there is a digit missing.Also,what model of Vehicle is this paint code on,from what plant and build date?
