All that I have heard for years is that G.M.
destroyed all the records on the first gen Camaro's. But that doesn't make any sense,
Pontiac has the P.H.S. service, and I had a 1963 Cadillac Fleetwood that I sent $50.00
dollars to Cadillac and they sent me the build sheet as it sat in the assembly line folder!! Anyway does anyone know anyone at Chevrolet we can contact about this??..OH and by the way as 69 L-78 SS Camaro owners I would be honored to be on a site dedicated to the Yenko's.....Joel ILL. Camaro Club

Just spoke with George at GM Canada, trying to get a Chevelle Build Sheet. They have them but will now only release letters of info due to key code liability, is what he told me.

Nice guy, proceeded to tell me about a fire which destroyed all the USA Chevy documents stored in Detriot.

He also provided a name and address to a Guy in Florida who has all the Buick Docs from GM.

Anyone ever get any info on their Buicks?

Ed also did a certification on my 69 Yenko Camaro #N663794 for those keeping track. It has found a home in Oklahoma. I am also seriously looking for a Yenko Nova and Yenko Chevelle. Ready to buy if car is real good!!

The CRG database that I maintain does act as a registry of sorts. It was designed from the get-go not to be a registry, but a research tool and alot of information in it was gathered with the promise of confidentiality. But I can and do answer questions that people ask.
I've offered up a copy of the db format (it's in Excel) to Tom to help maintain the SuperCar Registry. I'll also extend that same offer to Ed if that will help organize the data that he has. Lot of work went into developing the format and we're happy to share the format.
Many stories still floating around about Chevy records.....

Ed Cuneen and Company recently performed an inspection on my former Douglass Yenko COPO.

This involved amungst other items,checking all visable date codes and casting numbers, to include the secondary vin and removing the rear end cover to check dates and numbers.

Re: State of Hobby
 

I don't have a problem with the list being prepared with as much info as possible. Again, much like the one Marlin put together for the Deuces. By the way, Marlin, maybe we could update that list with all the Deuce movement happening the last year or so!! Jim

Re: State of Hobby
 

I will begin to list vins of all COPO's that have registered with me on my site. Perhaps I can add an owner first name and an initial for the last name. Anyone who wishes not to have their vin and/or name posted can just contact me and I will note it as private. If your COPO is not yet registered, please get in touch with me.

Re: State of Hobby
 

That's great, and, very generous of you Ed. Thanks!!

Re: State of Hobby
 

So will this list consist of known car vin's that exist only???? I have a problem with listing car vin's that have not been found yet but are known to be copo's. I have a lot of numbers that the cars are not found yet and would not want to give the #'s for someone to make new cowl tags! The car #'s that exist is a great idea though.

Good point, Pete! I agree. Is this list to be posted here?? Jim
