It's a photocopy of a list of fourteen (14) VINs, but I don't know what it was orignally printed from. For each car it has what I assume are the Order and Ident numbers, the key codes, color, and all the options for each car. There are 8 COPOs, and the car from the bottom of the preceding page whose option list rolls onto this page is also a COPO, but its VIN is not shown since it was on the previous page.

There is a non-COPO L78 car also listed on this sheet.

If mrrays already has all 30 VINs, sounds like I should just send him a scan of this sheet? Might provide new info, might not.

Thanks!

Sounds like a GM microfiche sheet. Most up here have a number of them because GM used to give out the page that your car was on when you paid for an authentication report. They stopped when people started running the vins to find rare cars.

They stopped the photo copies for 2 reasons...

One ... Legal ramifications giving out so much info..key codes

Two ...When GM handed the VIN process to what is now the Vintage department ( G Zaporo)

----Mark,,,I just couldn't imagine another body switch in Canada, I guess. Every thing I stated is true, just not the car you are referring to.....Bill S

Bill...I believe you! What a lot of people don't understand is just how quickly our cars rusted out back then. Unless it was a drag car or something like that, I find it very difficult to believe something driven year round in "most" of Canada could be rust free. Many of the Camaros that we played with in the late 70's were Flintstone-mobiles...in that our feet could touch the ground! A lot of our cars hi-po cars were rebodied in the 80's and 90's. Some local shops advertised rust free California shells for sale regularly.

The original car was a serious rust bucket, and the owner used an SS Chevelle out of California. Much later that car ended up in the Chicago area. Don't know where it is today. I won't give any further info out on that on the sight....Bill S

Ahh memory's Bill...Eky and Chuck just retired for the second time last year.
