Motown,
I have one question, what kind of fee is there going to be to Document a car???


Thnx Bud.

Bud,
I cant say as it is not my project, but if I had to take a stab in the dark I would guess it would be similar to the Pontiac project of $35, but it could be more as it may be a great deal more research. I would not think it would matter much considering the values of the cars in todays market, what would it be worth to document a classic vs always having the speculation that it may not be real? How much more is a documented car worth over one that is not? The fact that the info becomes available will cut the existing numbers of every model by eliminating the counterfeit, so everyone who owns a real car benefits as values go up when the number of existing cars go down. A gold spanish coin was worth 20 times as much prior to Mel Fisher finding the Atocha, so many coins were found they ended up on home shopping club. As supply decreases, demand and value increase, thereby making the documentation of the true cars priceless in the overall market. I have several I will pay whatever it takes to document. Jim and his crew are not out to make money, they are out to make the hobby more legitamite and honest. That is hard to put a value on. I have no way of knowing the cost, I am just standing back and cheering them on. Everyone benefits except the guys building fake cars. It dont get no better than that.
Thanks,

That sounds fair or maybe a great Deal!, I was just a little concerned that it may be like a grand or whereabouts, That may not phase a guy with a 100K car but it sure makes the guy with 20K car Hurt, It sounds like you speak for Jim a little when you say he is not out to charge a arm and a leg but more to get the Info out to all of us?.
Motown thnx for taking the time and keeping us updated, like a few guys have described
I have been anxious to see what he has found, and Hopefully Document all the great cars we have, once and for all!!!

On page 71 of the June '03 Hemmings is the "Parts Locator" article about "Past History Search" info for your car. The writer seems to indicate on pg. 72 that Chevy USA may have info available ( I called the 800 # and was told no specific info on cars over 10 years old, but they do have the "restoration" info pack available for Camaros, which I have). There is some good info and contact #'s for reference material.

Check out the latest issue of Muscle Car Review (by Car Craft),spring '03. Great article and editorial on Jim (pg 5 and 70) and the whole project. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

[MotownMadman]

I dont yet have the magazine to scan, but this is a photo of the car on the cover, "Worlds Rarest Camaro",makes it easy to spot on the shelf.
