Cool story EZ Nova, I agree, there is always the exception, a lot of us on the forum have seen some interesting things over the years, some in a very good way, and some in very bad ways.

Wishing you all a fantastic weekend [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Until the mid 90's, GM Canada documentation included the actual microfiche printout sheet showing your car. The sheets also showed dozens of other cars. I have one sheet with eleven L79 Chevy IIs on it. One of them is an SS in the rare, Canada only P code Plum Mist Metallic. You could virtually build a car from these sheets. VIN, colors, options, engine suffix codes, key codes....everything was there except engine casting numbers. A friend of mine actually built an L79 Chevy II 2 door sedan from one of my sheets. All he needed, but never got, was a new VIN plate and cowl tag. It still has it's original U.S. VIN and cowl tag and always has been presented as a clone, but it proved how easy it would be to build a car from these sheets and get GM Canada documentation for it. There are probably hundreds of these sheets still out there. GM Canada now requires proof of ownership before documenting a car, but that wasn't required earlier on. There are several of my cars still out there carrying documentation obtained in the 90's by giving GM Canada a VIN over the phone. Scary stuff.
