Docs from a member here...is one of the Z's yours, Ron?


https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1053149

A friend has acquired two large batches of INCREDIBLE original documents from two Chevrolet dealerships (one in Memphis and one in L.A.). They cover over ninety 1966-1972 Chevelles and Camaros. A significant number of these are L78's and LS6's. Also one L78 Nova and a Corvette in the batch.

He has asked me to market these docs for him. Some preliminary details to whet your appetite are below. My plan is to post all the VIN's with the last 2 digits X'ed out. An interested party will need to provide the last two digits from his or her car, along with proof of current ownership. But first, my question is, on what forum(s) should I post the VIN list? Some sites have "orphan" forums or pages. Any suggestions on where to post the list?

Now for the exciting part-- For each car he has the original shipping bill, which lists VIN, dealer and zone codes, method of shipping, date shipped, Invoice #, everything that would be on the window sticker (model, options, colors, the full option codes including the version / tracking #'s, and the MSRP for each item), plus the actual cost to the dealer of each item. Then it has the two key #'s, the build sheet ident. no., the destination dealership name and address, and info related to the dealer's floorplan financing through GMAC.

Then on the back of all the Memphis bills there are hand-written entries of the original buyer's name, date of delivery, actual sales price, and the dealer's gross and net profit. Also lists what car was traded in (if applicable), how much credit was given for the trade, what the trade later sold for, and what the profit (loss) on the trade was.

For a number of these cars (mostly 69 and 70), he also has the New Car Order form where the salesman wrote up the deal (with options and prices and buyer's name). Some of those also have the buyer's GMAC financing contract attached along with the service department's pre-delivery inspection records.
