Nice. That's a little bit of miles compared to mine that's been driven half way around the world. I had to email some guy last year to get my numbers. I'll check my old emails to see if it's still there

That's one clean CETA. I emailed Justin.fabiola with my vin and what not and he sent back my asc number. He took about a month because he had just had a newborn idk if he still does it but it's worth a try.

You might want to change that email address in the post. They have programs actively scanning the internet for email addresses to spam. Which is one of the reasons Justin has a hard time getting back to people. He has to wade through hundreds of spam mails to get to the actual ones and sometimes he misses them.

To the OP
So if you do email him....do it 2 or 3 times back to back to make it stick out and explain the reason why that you just wanted to make sure he got the email

Just send him your YEAR and VIN and that its a CETA.

Congrats on your new CE! Truly the Last of the Breed!

sadly the z06 wheels were just a test, i decided against it as so many people have them. i was lucky to steal em off my dads car to take some pics

on a side note i did find my number 445 its a decent number i think,, one of the first 500

Cool! Any mods? I only want to do bolt-ons by improving the suspension and a few engine mods. Considering how many were made you have fairly low number CETA.

right now it just has a home ported throttle body, ported intake manifold, led lighting, tinted reverse light and side lights, then some quick pinstripe work on the pontiac and bird on the bumpers. soon it will have the engine bay cleaned up with a custom painted lid, intake manifold, throttle body and maf, then some fuel rail covers. then there will be wheels just havent decided which ones yet(so many choices), then i have a spare ls6 cam, 1.8 ratio rocker arms, shorty headers, and will soon have a bassani true dual cat back.

there is also a chance that i will be reapainting the whole car.... havent decided that yet

Use the awesome VIN Decoder that I recently added to my sticky at the top of the forum. It will give you lots of cool info about your 'bird.

Very nice T/A. I have always liked this model. Not sure of the production numbers though. Good luck and take care of her.
