Also, about the stripes on the side....

Default CETA Blackbird? on E-Bay

The owner states its CETA BB#4 & he bought it new from Carl Black Pontiac.

I have been in contact with the owner.

Here's what's missing from the car & why everyone is questioning it...

There are a number of GMMG/Carl Black items that don’t seem to be there…….
Windshield & mirror number
Air Box Decal from Carl Black
Ash Tray plaque (not all cars has this)
GMMG logo under LR tail light
Is the passenger side head stamped?
I am quite sure is should be stamped CE 04

The GMMG Door Tag is # 21085

What do you think? Real CETA Blackbird or not?

Now find the #001 Mecham CETA.

I've had no luck finding it but saw it at the 02 SLP meet in Vegas.

Oooh...now that sounds like a car I'd want to own. I always liked the Mecham spoilers, for some reason.

Default Fyi - This is the real deal!

I have verified the authenticity of 02 CETA Blackbird #4 car with Matt Murphy (GMMG) & Carl Black Pontiac.

I have a photo of the GMMG Door Tag #21085 & the Carl Black/GMMG Invoice.

Some of you guys really blasted Mursshud & it would be a nice gesture to offer an apology. He was trying to do the right thing & just didn't have all the facts right.

Yes, there are some badges & decals missing that raised a lot of questions. I'll be working on making the car 100% correct & show quality.

BY THE WAY - I BOUGHT THE CAR!

Here is a link to my web site.........

http://www.daytonapacecars.com/id48.html

This should put this issue to rest once & for all.

Jim
