Well I guess I'm the eternal pessimist then...
to me like it's a no-brainer. For GM the project is insignificant both financially and in terms of public relations. GM simply could care less if we "enthusiasts" get our beloved documents or not, and I personally think the process of organizing and "releasing" the documents would prove to cost as much or more than they could ever hope to generate on the sale of such documents.
[/ QUOTE ] I guess People like you must be running the Show at GM!! No wonder I like FORD so much!! In True response to your Pessimism, You do not know the outcome until you try. And that applies to anything you do in Life. Think about your first piece of A$$! or anything else you wanted so bad you could taste it. Were you so Pessimistic then and "Self Doubting" that you never got Laid? Of Course Not! You were young and Full of Life and you did what you needed to do! the problem with the Nay Sayers in this world is that sometimes People let them deter others from Progress. and sometimes it takes a Pessimist to Anger and Fuel The Fire of Other's To strike out and Prove you wrong! My purpose in Starting this thread was to get a Sense of Value that people would place on this type of Service. I already know about "PHS" Charges, But I think there are far more Valuable Chevrolets Lacking Documnetation That could push that Figure Higher. GM Could easily do a Cost Analysis of this process and I bet it would be a lot Cheaper than you assume. Given the Technology Benefits of Today in comparison to the past. let me ask you this, Why does FORD do It?? in actuality, an enterprising Enthusiast approached them and undertook the Job himself! His Name is Kevin Marti. Hence the term "Marti Report" when you see FORD ads. I know others have tried to get GM to do the right thing and it always gets close and then does not happen. But if evidence was shown to them that literally Thousands of People want this service provided and they were willing to pay anywhere from $25.00 Dollars to $1000.00 Dollars for this knowledge to either confirm a Valuable Car, or to guide a restoration project on Granny's 6 cylinder Nova. Price it accordingly. several scenarios could be arranged. For instant Information or within Hours Charge an extra $50.00 Dollars. SS Or Z-28, COPO Cars Charge More than you would for a Base Model car, etc. Now remember John Belushi's Famous Line in Animal House...."Who's with me??"
