Petition GM for all GM car info ???

[njsteve]

I was just kidding about the class action thing. But it is such an urban legend that GM wont release info for fear of lawsuits, it just irritates me any time it gets mentioned. If it was true, PHS would be sued on an hourly basis because there are 10 times the amount of GTOs out there than were ever built by Pontiac. It makes the 50,000 fake 69 Z28s out there seem insignificant by comparison.

That is the best laugh I have had today. I was thinking there was only 40,000 fake Z-28's but who's counting??? I know one thing though. I would love to be a fly on the wall when GM did ever post the truth for all to read. Man would there be a mass exidous out of town for a bunch of guys before they got shot by some of the people they scamed.

Does anyone on the Board here know Jim Mattison? Seems like he would be the person to talk to. The way I understand it, he has already put lots of time in this. Possibly he could recomend a direction to go in. Get his thoughts on a petiton doing any good.

He is one that I do want to chat with about this if anybody has a email address for him please email me with the info.

Neither GM nor the PBS is libel for what happens, and have never been to court. You see, the PHS paperwork you receive is a legal document, thus stands on its own merits. This according to Jim Mattison.

Jim is quite correct, as the document falls under the "Business Records" exception to the hearsay rule. If someone was to sue a prior seller for a bogus car, they would simply place the PHS sheet into evidence as it is an official record of GM. No one at GM gets called as a party to the lawsuit.

Steve,

I can appreciate that, but here is where my point of reference lays. If GM does in fact have records of the builds where they have claimed along that they don't, doesn't that open them up to the following suit. A guy files claim against GM stating that GM could have released these documents years earlier and prevented him from buying a car that he thought was a real Copo? Couldn't they argue that had GM released that info years earlier that it could very well have prevented a lot of misrepresented deals. Doesn't this give merit to a lawsuit against GM?
