JohnZ wrote once that he had some documentation for the CE block and one cylinder head replaced in his Z/28 under warranty circa 1970, but the docs were stored in a file and not readily available. The car sold a few years ago, so that door is closed.
My understanding (having viewed limited replacement PoPs) is that they were issued to a second owner within factory warranty period, on payment of a warranty transfer fee - there is wording to this effect on warranty protection plan wallets - or if the original was lost, but replacements did not contain all of the data stamped on the original PoP.

Is this any help? Issued to second owner of a '69 Chevelle SS in '71 when a CE block was installed.

The Protect O Plate booklet for this subject car is not genuine & was recently made with new world technology.
Seller claimed he found it hidden up inside the dashboard.
One owner before him,(who removed & restored the dashboard many years ago),laughed at that claim on so many levels.

Thanks! I'll PM you to avoid taking this thread off original topic.

I recall that Green L-34 when it was on Racingjunk.I tried to go see it for another who was interested,but the seller sold it too soon.
Many know it's true heritage.

Maybe. Instead of a REGISTRY of Real LS 6 or L78 or Whatever.... a Registry with known information on Clones is needed. LOL

I’ll keep sayin it. We can’t control what these cars are advertised as.... but we can and should continue to beat the drum that you just have to ask questions before buying!! I have little sympathy I’m afraid for the guys who do No Homework. Some folks spend a weekend on the internet researching which new Flat Screen Tv to buy.... but spend less than 45 mins researching whether the muscle car they are about to spend a years salary on, is legit. No Joke.

I must say I love the fact we can get documentation for cars built here in Canada and Imported. It doesn’t protect us from scum bag restampers but at least we know the cars started out as something.

'Known Clone" Registry would be nice !!! haha

"When Chevrolet gives up the build records this will all be over..."

Is there such a thing? And if so why aren't they available? Asking because I don't know and have heard different things, a lot of the people on here would have a better idea then most.

It's Ironic that Chevrolet found most of the Shipping Data that NCRS now has a service for but yet they can't dig up the Assembly Build Records on these cars like Oshawa Canada Kept for there cars built and Imported into Canada.

I bet there still out there but they don't want to disclose them for some reason from the USA Chevrolet files. I just don't buy that rumour that they were lost in a fire.
Hopefully one day they will emerge but wishful thinking IMO

I agree that the records exist in some fashion whether it be through the zone office, parts, service, shipping etc. That said, I highly doubt they will surface. Think of all the lawsuits where an attorney could say, you had the build records all of this time but chose not to release them and as a result my client got burned or something to that effect.

Bottom line is if the buyers were willing to admit to themselves that they are in over their heads and hire an expert to examine a car before they buy, this would be a non issue.
