COPO or just special paint? (I didn't have sound on).

I would have bought a extra tank and kept that sheet just where it was. Looks like it was about to rip if he tried to pull it off.

He was stupidly aggressive. Take a picture and put it back. It’s never gonna be in the rain anymore. I was screaming at the video at lunch and my employees thought I was nuts.

Edited for short term memory issues...

I agree 100%. I was freaking out in my head It is a perfect tank sticker and he was pulling on it like it was a rope. I thought it was going to tear. Take a ton of pictures and put the tank back with the tank sticker still on or replace the tank and keep the tank with the tank sticker on it with the car.

Great tank sticker. Oddly enough, the Special Paint designation doesn't call out the color, only that the car was painted a special color. Sometimes the Window Sticker calls out the specific color, or there may be a notation of color on some of the paperwork.

The ordering paperwork has the color on it... and a note... if black not available, build in Green.

I too own a 1971 Corvette that was a special order paint Black car. Mines an Lt-1 which I purchased from the original owner many years ago. I'll have to check my paperwork to see what it says. I'm pretty sure the trim tag has "Spec Paint". It still wears its original paint but needs resto.
