What would you Pay GM for Official Documentation?

I sure hope someone has them. I will be the first in line to buy some.

I think a similar effort could/should be initiated with the NICB. They have info that appears to require no additional effort to make marketable to enthusiasts like us. I know I would really like to have an NICB report for my Novas.

Has anyone approached them about such a service?

I approached them with this very same idea in 1999.
They said they would get back to me..

[/ QUOTE ]this is the point I am trying to make. all other efforts have failed. a New approach is needed. Otherwise success would have occurred already. as to whether or Not Jim M. Is OLD as in TOO Old, do not take it that way. I am just suggesting that as we get older, more $hit gets put on our plate. I know Carroll Shelby is 82 and still running like a Mad man Flying here and there, designing, appearing and living life to the fullest. I bet his Cobra can Beat Jim's COPO though.....!!

GM has some financial problems like 5.8 billion in health care costs and they have cut their earnings forcast by almost 50%. The increasing health care costs are sucking up any and all available resources. For now our requests will fall on deaf ears and be treated like a fly on a horses a@#. They are an international and multi billion dollar company that needs to conserve their resources and focus on increasing their decreasing North American market share by bringing solid and exciting products to the automotive market.

With my past experience with Pontiacs the PHS docs are great to verify a purchase but IMHO there is nothing like having original GM docs to document a car.

I have a good friend that works in management in the Chevy division and I have inquired many times and he has run it up the chain of command. It just does not seem to be a priority to GM at this time.

Rick,

I agree that the paperwork that Chevy sends you is not special, however it does list part numbers for carbs, distributors etc. But with the exception of the Factory to dealer invoice it's basically the same package as the PHS docs.

We are all dreamin, there are probably no records or they would have leaked by now, ya think! Wishful thinking, alot of crooks would be looking for work!!

Has anyone ever checked with R.L. Polk? They are an old Detroit company that keeps every kind of statistic for the automotive industry. The big 3 relies heavyly on them.

[hvychev]

Checked them 6 years ago. They would not help. I tried to put on my best sales pitch ever. Even kept the guy on the phone for a half hour.
