I spoke to Jim a few months ago about this. He is still banging his head against the corporate wall. He is facing a lot of GM buraucracy. I do not believe there has been any progress unfortunately.

Emailed Jim yesterday. He has walked away from the project. He said too much political BS and concern about the way the records would be used.

That's depressing news. I don't understand what GM's worried about.

That's hard to believe considering they already have it set up for the Pontiac records. Something smells fishy in GM land.

Well I'm stunned.These guys are on damage control already,i.e. Camaro dead,Mustang definitely isn't,etc.
Possibly to many people calling the shots,yet no one claiming responsibility for them.
Chevrolet beaurocacy at its finest.
I sympathize with Jim M. & for us all.

We should not just let this go. What can we do as a group? It is much easier to keep things alive than get this going again 10 years from now.

Robert dont mean to quote you but How can getting the records out to all of us that would like them...be a bad thing????? it seems to me either a person has a real car or they dont...the paper just confirms that...to bad Jim has given up...due to GM not helping out...truly sad how GM has no desire to help out its loyal customers...they need to fire about 2/3 of the management and start over...

Is there a web site that we can get everyone to email?
.....Maybe a email address for someone a GM that has influence?
...Those new mustangs and Ford trucks are looking better and better
