Owner's Packet for 1970 Corvette

[Stephen B.]

I have found the owner's manual and plastic envelope. Where can I obtain the warranty folder, the trim ring instruction card, the consumer information booklet, the radio instruction sheet, the stereo radio instruction sheet, and the small white envelope for the keys and knockouts. Your help would be appreciated.

e-bay or NCRS swap meet

You can buy a warranty book with protecto plate from any 1970 Chevrolet vehicle on e-bay for $20 or so. It will be original with an original protecto plate and tape - the judges can usually spot the repros so you will probably lose less points with an Impala one.

I just went through this process the past week.
M F Dobbins has much of the stuff for the owner's packet including the wheel trim ring card which I just received this week. You might give him a try.
I saw the key envelope on e-bay for $51.00 and have seen some for $125.00-150.00, but I just bought a repro from Long Island Corvette for $5.00. May not be original but also didn't cost $150.00 so I may lose a point or two.

I'm sure he's a nice guy, BUT....

Last year at the Orlando regional, I wanted to buy an original early 1969 (first design) warranty book with protecto plate - he had one and was originally asking $80 (it was an Impala one with the Impala protecto plate). I told him I wanted it - he dug through his pile of stuff and then said "since it's my last one, I will have to charge you $200" yet he had moments before said $80!!! I said OK and whipped out the cash! Next thing you know, he says "It's really in good shape, I think I'll save it for somebody else because I can add a reproduction protecto plate to this one and it will look like new."

That got me thinking. I searched e-bay for the next 3 or 4 months and picked up a really nice first design book and plate with Impala numbers for a song! The seller even threw in the plastic pouch and some other paperwork including the original Impala owners manual.

If I were to deal with this fellow again, I would only buy stuff at a meet with cash and PASS IMMEDIATELY if he tries the BAIT AND SWITCH!
