Original '66-7's were also numberless. *NM*

Re: C2 Stainless Steel Exhaust Tips.. 304ss or 409
OOPS? I mis-spoke when I said in my original message that I received a points deduct because the judges magnet would not stick to the exhaust tips I did not get it right. I should have written that the judges magnet DID stick to the exhaust tips and I was told that the originals should not attract a magnet.
So what is correct? Again these tip are NOS/GM service replacments bought back in 1981.
Sorry for the confusion.

James,
Your judge was wrong in his assumption that the originals were made of 304SS or a grade higher than that.
GM did NOT spend a lot of money on stainless steel. A magnet is attracted to ALL stainless steel on the Corvettes. That included stainless around the front window, rear window, side pieces and on and on.
Your judge should be whipped with a wet noodle, sent home and points deducted from his black hat. Me! No, I never make a judging mistake! To hear me tell it anyway!
The system is not perfect and neither are the owners! It's better than having the NCCC judge your car isn't it?
