I have always had a registry on real cars in addition to fakes but LS6 cars only. However, due to liability issues it cannot be published. Also, many are suspect but not confirmed due to such things as restamped drivetrain, paperwork, history, etc.

Its a non-issue for Pontiacs, even when the Firebirds were made at Norwood.

That will never happen. If it did it would of been around the time when there were more so called original 67 l88 vetts than what were originally produced! It will NEVER happen!

I must say I love the fact we can get documentation for cars built here in Canada and Imported. It doesn’t protect us from scum bag restampers but at least we know the cars started out as something.

If there was a clone registry, it would probably have more entries than the 'legit' registry.

"When Chevrolet gives up the build records this will all be over..."

Is there such a thing? And if so why aren't they available? Asking because I don't know and have heard different things, a lot of the people on here would have a better idea then most.

It's Ironic that Chevrolet found most of the Shipping Data that NCRS now has a service for but yet they can't dig up the Assembly Build Records on these cars like Oshawa Canada Kept for there cars built and Imported into Canada.

I bet there still out there but they don't want to disclose them for some reason from the USA Chevrolet files. I just don't buy that rumour that they were lost in a fire.
Hopefully one day they will emerge but wishful thinking IMO

Never heard that. What I most commonly hear is due to the volume of production, Chevrolet just didn't keep up with records very well, and over time, they disappeared. Easy to see that happening when Van Nuys or Norwood shut down, or when the St Louis Corvette assembly moved to Bowling Green.

My apologies for getting so for off the subject of the original post.

I agree that the records exist in some fashion whether it be through the zone office, parts, service, shipping etc. That said, I highly doubt they will surface. Think of all the lawsuits where an attorney could say, you had the build records all of this time but chose not to release them and as a result my client got burned or something to that effect.

Bottom line is if the buyers were willing to admit to themselves that they are in over their heads and hire an expert to examine a car before they buy, this would be a non issue.
