latest Jim M. Chevy records rumor

[Tommy_Mathison]

what will this information consist of? copies of build sheet, window sticker.. etc? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

I will bet ALOT of the guys that knownly own clones won't have a clue that this info is even coming. By the time they do , it will to too late, the info will already be in smart buyers hands. I will soon be possibly in the market for a '69 L78 or L34 Camaro. Just wondering now if I should hold off until the info is released. HUmmmmmmmmmm........

The guys building clones will not have a problem. It's the guys building fakes.

If Jim can stray away from the project for 5 minutes and give us a quick update, that would make everyone happy. Doesn't everyone agree? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

I agree. I've been following this chain and I finally signed up as a member because I had to put my 2 cents in. I'm curious about where Jim has found all this information. I've been told by my GM sources in Detroit that all records by VIN were kept by individual plants prior to 1970. They've also been beating the bushes from the inside for years looking for stuff and have come up empty. Did Jim contact every exsisting plant to see what was left? What about plants that are long gone? Or does the secret GM record "cave" actually exsist (I hope)? This would be a gold mine for guys that have undocumented cars and as everybody has pointed out a dung heap for counterfeiters. In my best Dr. McCoy voice- Jim, I'm a car guy, not a psychic!
Please talk to the masses...just a little...please?

Speculation: What if the records available were those from Fisher Body, which maintained the Body numbers ,options and a corresponding Vin to the appropriate Vehicle and mfg,via an internal work order.

Would that "cave" happen to be Iron Mountain? It would be nice if GM and Fisher have all the records stored there. Discovery Channel did a special on Iron Mountain a couple of months ago. They have everything under the sun in there(and then some)!!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It is really not my place tp distribute any info on this, but I can say that Jim and I are friends and that the records did exist, over the years finding their way to different locations, it has just been a case of beating the bushes and rounding up the cattle so to speak. Patience gentlemen, there is a God, his name is Jim, and it is just a matter of time before the heavens of Chevrolet muscle car history shall rain down the truth as to the origins of worthy GM iron. Have faith and the sins of the false prophets shall be exposed.....
Thanks,

Fisher didn't assign the VIN, Chevy did. So I don't think it would show on Fisher paperwork, esp pre-69.

But how about GMAC paperwork. They financed every car made and the options are listed on it.......
