Given the Trim Tag and the paperwork, if presented for Flight judging in the NCRS in a color other than primer it will lose every point allocated for paint. I would expect Bloomington to be the same.
Yes from 70-75 you had to have someone in GM willing to help you if you wanted a Corvette painted Black.
In the case of the 71 LT1 my brother and I bought, Chevrolet required a $1000 non-refundable deposit and "had the plant bid on the cost to paint black and time for delivery".
IMHO Mr Aglietti is the one responsible for the LT1 actually being painted black in St Louis.
