Nope...it wasn't Orange and it was rebodied in Canada. I won't say what color it was as I don't want to get into any pissing matches. I'm sure a number were rebodied as our cars were rusty as hell by the mid-70's!

----Mark,,,I just couldn't imagine another body switch in Canada, I guess. Every thing I stated is true, just not the car you are referring to.....Bill S

Sounds like a GM microfiche sheet. Most up here have a number of them because GM used to give out the page that your car was on when you paid for an authentication report. They stopped when people started running the vins to find rare cars.

They stopped the photo copies for 2 reasons...

One ... Legal ramifications giving out so much info..key codes

Two ...When GM handed the VIN process to what is now the Vintage department ( G Zaporo)

Bill...I believe you! What a lot of people don't understand is just how quickly our cars rusted out back then. Unless it was a drag car or something like that, I find it very difficult to believe something driven year round in "most" of Canada could be rust free. Many of the Camaros that we played with in the late 70's were Flintstone-mobiles...in that our feet could touch the ground! A lot of our cars hi-po cars were rebodied in the 80's and 90's. Some local shops advertised rust free California shells for sale regularly.
