Thanks for the info, Tim. I don't see a problem with creating a registry of vin,s and owners much like Marlin has done with the Deuces. I don't see where this makes the owners more vulnerable. I don't see a big risk is a listed car being stolen from this info. What would a guy do with it? Strip it and the value is gone. Try to peddle it and everyone would know where it came from. I think it would be very interesting to see how many cars this group could account for!! Just my opinion. Jim

I think the idea of creating a registry similar to the Shelby Registry is a very good one. I think all known 'Super Cars' should be included in the Registry. Even if the owner doesnt register the car, if it is a verified car, it should be included into the data base.

Who actually keeps track of the Registry here and how many cars are registered?

I have given much thought about publishing VINs for all of the known cars. Only a few owners to date did not wish to have their VIN published. When I published a partial list in my book years ago, some people actually conducted title searches on all cars, and actually found at least one car. However, as a fall out to this, some owners did call me, mentioning someone tried to buy their car and my name came up as to the source of the information. I will take the lead in listing these VINs, unless there is a general consensus not to do so. Should owners be listed also? Let me know how you feel about this.

I always thought the Boss 302 registry was exemplary. My wife receives it; I think it comes out once a year. Related website is http://www.boss302.com/ .

I think it would be a great idea to let Ed post the vins of individuals who wanted them posted! Who better to handle this! A lot of us have had Ed verify cars for us and he has a good insight on how to do this.

I have a COPO Connection certification for my Yenko. It was there when I bought it. Did you ever inspect my car Ed? N578866 for those interested to scratch it off the list of cars to find...BKH

This is way Pontiac doesn't have this problem..The company kept records of every Pontiac sold. Too bad Chevy didn't do the same thing then all this wouldn't be a problem...

You can scratch this one off also: N613759 It also has a COPO Connection certification

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?
