Default Re: NCRS Shipping Records for Camaro, Chevelle, Nova

I didn't see this until this morning.

Roy Sinor contacted me yesterday to let me know this was coming available. This is GREAT news for the hobby. And here I thought I was getting advance notice.

While not the complete information we would like to see, it is a great start.

There is still hope for 55-64 cars. The same info exists as for the 65-72 Camaro, Chevelle and Nova cars. My understanding is that NCRS simply had to draw the line somewhere, as the cost involved to manually go through hundrends of thousands of car records on microfiche, convert to a digital, searchable format, and get it organized has already exceeded $100k. Hats off to NCRS for taking this one. BTW, that is why there will be a charge, to help offset that cost.

One of the things I believe they will be able to do is confirm that the BDY number on my trim tag is the number that was there when the car was born. That number is referred to in GM docs as the "ident" number, and is in every record available. So, no swapping a GM tag from another car and getting away with it.

$50? That's a bargain.
