I just bought a 81 corvette and I was wondering what it means on the trim tag, the tag says trim 64c and then the paint says SPC. My question is what is SPC?

64c is Camel Cloth interior. Sarge812008-06-22 08:43:25

Is the SPC pretty common in 81 vettes?

No.

Being that this is my first corvette I am trying to learn all i can about it. Still have a loooong way to go!!!!

What color is the car now? "Spc" can also mean a special color that was not on the order sheets, but was done as a "test" to see if the color would come out right on the cars. It could also be a special order car for a high-up in GM....ya never know, but a "spc" code is usually a primer car, and there were very few ever done like that.
The urethane bumper covers on these cars(SPC) were painted a metallic silver color, instead of a primer, tho, as a primered urethane cover would absorb oils and other crap in transport, making it hard to paint them when it was time to do so.

SPC cars are RARE....in any year model, but more so on the later cars.

Its blue now but I know its been repainted a couple of times. I know it came from the ST Louis factory. Thats what the original paperwork that matches the Vin # says.

Since this 81 is factory primer car should I restore it back to original? 

It is your car. You can do whatever you would like.

[QUOTE=Sarge81]...But to be NCRS correct, the car would have to be painted in the correct type primer. That would be a rare sight to see.  [/QUOTE] 6880Mike2008-06-27 08:08:17
