latest Jim M. Chevy records rumor

I feel $100 would not be out of line

[Tommy_Mathison]

In all honesty, $1000 would not be out of line. I'm certain there are a lot of people with very nice cars that would pay more than that even.

I agree with Tommy, just think if you have a real 435 hp vette but have no real paperwork with the car. I'm sure that however owns a car like that would pay a 1000 or more to prove what he has. I remember reading on the NCRS forum a couple of years ago about this subject and most over there while hopeful, are in agreement that it will never happen. They say that Art Armstrong conducted a similiar search for the records with GMs cooperation years before Jim with no luck. I hope that it will happen as I am tired of all the BS cars in the hobby and would separate the fact from fiction but I'm not holding my breath.

I have a 67 435 and a 60 big brake vette. Both real cars with no paperwork. I would gladly give $1000 a car for GM paperwork. Don't think it will happen though.

Jim and I have talked about the Corvette records he has located. He is working on gaining possession of them and they do exist for the years we would like. I am not in need of them as I have original documents for both of my '71 LS6 Corvettes. However I will be interested to know how this information will be diseminated to owners. I would hope that unscrupulous individuals would not be able to gain access to verifiable documents to a rare optioned model, only to be able to recreate it from these documents. That would be a concern of mine.

Hi Warren,
A friend of mine spoke with Jim at a Pontiac show recently and his take was that Jim was not too hopeful of it happening. Maybe he caught him on a bad day or he did not want to talk Chevies at a Pontiac show, who know but I am getting tired of waiting. My cars are all verified documented etc just like yours are but the reason I want it to happen is because I want the fraud to end! It would be the best thing to happen for our hobby JMHO.

Jim spoke of the Chevy records at his seminar at the St. Charles Pontiac show. He indeed indicated that the interest level was, shall we say, not high with GM and with all that is going on with the "new" GM, he felt that the chance of anyone getting into the records was pretty slim.
