Then let's do it. I started this discussion,
How could we post this. If the Registry would like to handle The ZL-1's, The Yenko Cars, and the C.O.P.O. cars. I would bring this to the table in my Camaro Club in ILL.
to handle the SS and Z/28'S. Like I said in my post, We just own a doc. L-78 69 SS, and
I would request the future nad the past be verified in our hobby. If we can co-ordinate a plan, e-mail me and lets get to work......

I still think if you are going to do the Yenkos and COPOs, you'll have to also come up with the VINs on all the big block Camaros. The next cars inline that are canidates for clones are the L78 cars.
Did anyone at Chevrolet keep anykind of records?

All that I have heard for years is that G.M.
destroyed all the records on the first gen Camaro's. But that doesn't make any sense,
Pontiac has the P.H.S. service, and I had a 1963 Cadillac Fleetwood that I sent $50.00
dollars to Cadillac and they sent me the build sheet as it sat in the assembly line folder!! Anyway does anyone know anyone at Chevrolet we can contact about this??..OH and by the way as 69 L-78 SS Camaro owners I would be honored to be on a site dedicated to the Yenko's.....Joel ILL. Camaro Club

Just spoke with George at GM Canada, trying to get a Chevelle Build Sheet. They have them but will now only release letters of info due to key code liability, is what he told me.

Nice guy, proceeded to tell me about a fire which destroyed all the USA Chevy documents stored in Detriot.

He also provided a name and address to a Guy in Florida who has all the Buick Docs from GM.

Anyone ever get any info on their Buicks?

Ed also did a certification on my 69 Yenko Camaro #N663794 for those keeping track. It has found a home in Oklahoma. I am also seriously looking for a Yenko Nova and Yenko Chevelle. Ready to buy if car is real good!!

The CRG database that I maintain does act as a registry of sorts. It was designed from the get-go not to be a registry, but a research tool and alot of information in it was gathered with the promise of confidentiality. But I can and do answer questions that people ask.
I've offered up a copy of the db format (it's in Excel) to Tom to help maintain the SuperCar Registry. I'll also extend that same offer to Ed if that will help organize the data that he has. Lot of work went into developing the format and we're happy to share the format.
Many stories still floating around about Chevy records.....

Ed Cuneen and Company recently performed an inspection on my former Douglass Yenko COPO.

This involved amungst other items,checking all visable date codes and casting numbers, to include the secondary vin and removing the rear end cover to check dates and numbers.
