my friend who has a 69 GTO claim that if he calls GM with his vin# they can print up a build sheet for his car. Is this true??? If so, can I do the same for my 72 chevelle??

Rod Nov 18th, 99, 11:18 AM For cars built in Canada you can call the following # and recieve info about your car as it came off the line. It costs $40 Canadian, I have not used this # yet but was given it by someone here on this site. 1-800-263-3777 ------------------ Rod Jamieson Lacombe Alberta Canada Team Chevelle Gold #22 1970 454 rodjam@chevelles.com Byfield Nov 18th, 99, 11:20 AM No, and I doubt your friend has actually done this. Ask him to show it to you. GM will provide you with an info pack on your model of car, in general, but nothing specific to that vehicle. If it was built by GM Canada, then you can get quite a bit more info, but you'll have to ask one of the guys from up there about it. Kurt ------------------ The 68 Chevelle info page.

Byfield Nov 18th, 99, 11:34 AM There is a 1-800 number you can cal and, upon providing your VIN, get some info, but it's just general details. Nothing that is vehicle specific is available. The number is in some older posts. If you do a search, you should be able to find it. Kurt ------------------ The 68 Chevelle info page.

All GM divisions are different. Olds can provide dealer invoice on '77 and newer cars. I hear that Cadillac has records going way back. Chevrolet, nothing unless manufactured or sold in Canada. ------------------ Fred Aldrich Web Site: www.GeoCities.com/~69_chevelle (http://www.GeoCities.com/~69_chevelle) Steve A Nov 18th, 99, 7:07 PM You can get the information on Pontiacs from Pontiac Historical Service, it's not GM, at www.phs-online.com. Too bad we can't get this info on the Chevrolets. Steve 70 SS 454 Nov 18th, 99, 7:17 PM how do you tell if your chevelle was built in canada?? specifically a '70??? ------------------ Rich Cocoa Beach, Fla Team Chevelle #380 wa3men@aol.com www.chevelles.com/showroom/70_SS_454.jpg (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/70_SS_454.jpg) Dave Birdwell Nov 18th, 99, 7:51 PM Rich- If your car was built in Canada, the VIN on the dash will have a "1" in the 7th place. It would be like 1363701100001 This would be the VIN for the first coupe to come from the Oshawa assembly plant. 70 SS 454 Nov 19th, 99, 9:19 PM Dave.. my VIN is 136370R217719 what plant is the R for?? ------------------ Rich Cocoa Beach, Fla Team Chevelle #380 wa3men@aol.com www.chevelles.com/showroom/70_SS_454.jpg (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/70_SS_454.jpg) joe58 Nov 19th, 99, 10:04 PM The 'R' is for Arlington, Texas Dave - according to my books the Oshawa, Canada cars had a '1' for the plant code and the build sequence began with 500001 not 100001 like the U.S. built cars | ||
