GM came thru with documentation on the 77 Z/28

[notstock71]

Well I called GM Vintage Vehicle Services a few weeks ago to see if any original documentation still existed on the 77. George Zapora told me if I didn't hear back from him in a few days than they did find something and it would be in the mail in a few weeks. Today I got a package from GM and the first page is a nice cover letter explaining what info they had and contact numbers if I need to call them again.

Page 2 has everything on the car, VIN, trim, paint, price as sold, production date, ship date and original dealer.

Below all that is a list of everything that would be on the build sheet if I found one, 26 options. The list fits the car exactly and everything is correct (dad ordered it new so I knew most of this stuff already). At the bottom of page 3 is the little documented by George Zapora.

I didn't need to get this stuff since the car will never be for sale but I love original paperwork and documentation. I was VERY surprised GM had records on the car since they claim to have kept no records.

I knew the service was available but I also know another person who tried it on his 77 Z and there were no records. I guess I have better luck than him.

I didn't receive a copy of the invoice rather a typed letter with everything on it. An actual copy of the original invoice would have been nice.

What I find interesting is the email and names you pasted do not match the GM Vintage Vehicle Services info I have. I wonder if 2 different departments are doing this and depending who you contact affects what format you get your info on.

My understanding is that GM subcontracted this service out to Allied Vaughn. Not sure of the particulars of this agreement. I used the service for my son's 81 Z and they provided us with an a copy of an original invoice document.
