Johnny,

Bring it to Carlisle. I may (and maybe others) be interested in taking a look at it.

:cheers: John

Im pretty sure it is the Geneva kit but what can I reference it to?

I have searched the forums and haven't found anything about them in detail.

Im not at the house right now but it has quite a few photos and alof ot paper work that starts with GM letter heads at the top and a break down of the topics, talking about all of the systems and so on.

I have one or at least one version of one if you want to compare notes. It has an opening letter dated March 15, 1989 from Ralph Kramer director of PR for Chevrolet. I'm sure it is a US version. Came in a box with a binder inside. It's beat up a bit, only had the black and white photos, but I got it for $45. It's cool to have since I'm in PR.

The Geneva Kit has a white box with a 3 ring binder that fits in the box.
It has a letter from GM/Ralph Kramer, 8 b/w photos, 20 color 35mm slides, press releases from Ed Lechtzin and quite a few tabbed sections with LT-5 specs, Q&A, Cafaro, Dave M. etc. Prices vary depending on the condition and if they are still in shrink wrap etc.

They are fairly rare enough in pristine shape. On avg back in the day, they went about $175. I have seen them go as high as $400 in top shape. In the current market, they seem to be going low $100-$125.

What is in the folder on the left hand side if anything more?

Reason I ask is you are only missing-

slides,
Tabbed sections
and 3 photos.

Everything else is there but you have a folder instead of a binder and box.

Yeah, I have the binder and box, but this material looks about the same.

that is the folder that all the paper work was in, open it up and has slots on two of the three faces, I got the same folder when I became a Corvette museum lifetime member. I figured they were leftovers from the ZR-1 stuff.

so Im only missing a few things interesting.

the problem is I have no idea of when I picked this up hahaha

:eek: I have one those. It came with the car when I bought it...
The box and binder needs a little cleaning. Everything elce is in perfect shape.

Letter dated March 15, 1989. 10 tabbed areas

Thanks for the info
