So if a car were to recieve a non-standard paint code, i.e. a "0", how do they know what color to paint the car? They obviously would have to refer to some paperwork with the car to determine that. So if you had a "special" car that you would want special attention paid to, such as a non-standard color or maybe, just MAYBE a standard color but applied in a non-standard way (show quality finish????) how would that be indicated? That info would have to be in the cars paperwork. By putting an "0" on there it requires additional attention for additional special intructions?

P.S. In other words the dash has nothing to do with paint color, stripe color etc. The "0" covers that. The dash only has something to do with a Fleet, COPO, mechanical type things?

Most available info or facts can be interpreted or even spun into what you want it to mean!!

Nice try!

And of course I don't agree...but for conversation sake, what exact part are we talking about when it comes to Steve's effort with the MoSport report?


Steves research debunked a Myth clearly and in a manner that makes perfect sense, yet he and his assertions are not challanged. His research like the research I undertook had the same beginning from books written in the early 1990's

As I've said.... You don't need to swallow the hook line and sinker... I'm not interested in a debate.... You can believe whatever you want to believe! However, if you want to convince some of our fence sitting friends, you can just answer then as you see fit.... they are listed through out!

The problem with your questions posted here previously is that if they are adressed out of sequence they could lead the overall discussion off track. I stated I would do a "round up" and that is what I am doing now. As most all of your questions and comments revolve around your interview with the guy pertaining to the Fleet White paint story, I am not here to call anyone a liar, or tell you you or he is wrong. That is not my place. I think it is fair to say that as a result of this interview - you feel strongly that the "0" Paint was (and Is Fleet White).

My position is that the Historical Documents from Chevrolet, do not support the information from that interview you conducted. Further the IR Scans that I conducted, Tom, conducted and Lillard conducted all point to Ermine White as the color used. Finally the Mosport cars have the 0-1 code listed, the same color also specified - and the cars are charged to the GM Show car account.

The Chevrolet Engineering Build order 98168 for the track cars dated 3-30-67 approved by Mr. TB sloan to Chevrolet Engineering under the sub catagory "rebuild Program" specifies "Show quality paint" as a requirement. As you may recall- in 2005 Charlie Lillard had an Infra Red camera scan completed on #92 which also resulted in the pick of "Ermine White" as the color on the actual pace car.

BTW..... With all of the science done on this topic... I'm curious what the camera told you the breakdowns were with the existing C-1 sample cars vs the 0-1 samples from both 03C and 04A samples....I bet everyone would love to see how they compare.... Who knows....I might find myself starting to believe!!!

Please tell this was done at least!
