It would take quite a few bucks for sure. See my post over on the Yellow Baldwin car thread Joe - VVS confirmed they have not done the research for anybody yet so the numbers ARE NOT known.

It may be less expensive to convert the Microfilm and Microfiche to a modern data base.

You can buy scanners or have a service do it.

The Microfilm and Microfiche can go bad over time and be lost forever.

this is from a site that does the conversions...


"Microfilm and Microfiche were at one time the best options for backing up critical data, accessing information and reducing the need for paper file storage. However, in the age of ever advancing digital technology, these microformats have proven to be obsolete. Image retrieval from microfilm and microfiche is very time consuming and requires bulky, out-dated readers to view. Plus, the film itself is vulnerable to decay and loss. Converting this legacy data to searchable digital files has tremendous benefits and is often a requirement for companies and government agencies."

I hope it happens. Pontiac Historical Services is in the same boat.

I am led to believe they (VVS) are not to give out micro phish info (unfiltered) I asked for that data for my car and it was not made available. I even asked if they would black out the codes for all cars other than mine and send me that data but that also was not an option.

I have asked if there is a way to search for a specific option (RPO L89) but did not get feedback that I could pay thousands to search VIN by VIN looking for Canadian sold L89 Chevelles. :-(

Maybe I should ask for RPO W31 :-)
