FYI - e-bay listing with original paperwork for '66 VIN # 194376S112838 - car's not listed in Rob's C2 registry. Hopefully a NCRS member knows of the car and can unite the current owner with the original papers. Gary....

Gary, I am curious to know about "Rob's C 2 registry. What exactly is it? I too have a 1966 #308 that I have no pedigree of. Thanks

The primary benefit is so that people can find it/you if they were a past owner or otherwise have information about the car(s) you may now own. There was a recent story either here or at another forum site about how a guy having documentation found a few owners by referring to the registry. Vice-versa too I suppose, i.e. if you used to own a car and had pictures or whatever, and wanted to find the current owner to share this information.
On the other hand, I guess that can be a big negative if you paid 6-figures for a 427/435 car and some guy has the original tank sticker showing it to be 327/300 that he wants to give you.
Some don't participate for privacy reasons I would guess.Comment

Sure would be nice if more did, 300 avg per year for 25k produced per year is a low number.Comment

Ed,
Not many people know about that site and fewer use it. Look at how many cars are there per year, about 1% by year.
I've suggested before there needs to be one repository that all the various Corvette websites link to. C2.org is not the only one, and look at the 15000 NCRS members - not many put their cars their either. Part of this I'm told is privacy, don't want other to know what they have. Perhaps another is email spam intrusion (one reason I went AWOL from that site).
There needs to be improvements, there needs to be a place that is free (fleebay is not) where people can post this stuff for the original owners to find. Examples I have posted before, and a new one from a friend, the 1st owner of a 1969 427 silver side pipe car, original to central PA, found his window sticker, takers???
Maybe in the future NCRS can help in this regard to have a lost & found for VIN specific documents.Comment
