YEP !

Here's what I found out .... quite by accident, really. Back in '92 when Gene got the GM of Canada paperwork originally, it did not include dealer info in the packet and number of cars in that body style - i.e 33277 shipped to Canada. (Incidentally, there were only 641 TOTAL F85's shipped to Canada in 1970 -- regardless of powertrain...) Anyway ..... I decided to pay the $45 and get the more up to date format that George uses. Not expecting any surprises, just a "fresh" look on the docs. So in comes the docs last week, and lo-and-behold, there is this strange dealer referenced. I called Gene to see if I misunderstood him somehow when I bought the car, because, I too thought that it came out of Alberta. Gene's wife said that you two were down at B-J. She gave me your cell number, so if you saw a strange *734* area code pop up while you were sipping champagne, it was me ! I called George back and asked if there could have been a mistake somehow, and he was pretty emphatic that it was not an error. So, I now have this interesting curve ball thrown at me about the lineage of the green car. I still haven't followed up with Gene, but I will this week. Anyhoo - that's the story.
