General Discussion / Re: Original dealer info for 1st gens is available
« on: May 29, 2014, 08:34:47 PM »
I just got my report today on my 68 SSRS 396, Thank you again Roy. 
Anyway my tag shows 05D and the report shows a production date of 5/24/1968. The really good news is the dealer code was 972 in zone 10 which is Hajek Chevrolet in Longmont, CO and they are still in business. I have owned this car since the beginning of 1980 and the only real past I knew of is the the pervious owner told me he bought the car in the Pueblo, CO area in 1978. Over the years I have ran craigs list adds in Pueblo asking for info on previous owners but never turned up anything and the last time I ran the add it got flagged and removed with in 12 hours. 
I never had any idea where the car was really from and this is the best info yet and at least gives me some hope.
Now my question is.. I want to call the dealer and try and ask for some possible info from way back when it was sold, who would you ask to speak to if you were doing this? I tried this on my 69 Z back in about 2000 at the dealer in OK that sold it but never really got anywhere as I dont think they really wanted to bother with me. Any advice who I should try to speak to and questions I should ask?
Thank you in advance,
Nick

Very cool, I ran a very similar combo in a 69 Z years ago, at idle it would scare women & children.

Paid on the 4'th & my 68's # 622. I figured I would wait and see how this order turns out before doing the other 2 cars

I bought my 68 SSRS 396 in 02/1980
This pic was not long after buying the car and replacing the left side front sheet metal. She had a big boo boo when I bought the car..
1981 ish..
2006...
2010..
2014 and the old girl is still probably a year away from being done..
We bought our X77D80 in 1998
We bought our 68 Vert in 2008

124378N381579 would be the vin to a Norwood built V8 68 sport coupe. The vin will only tell if it is V8 or 6cyl coupe or vert and the assembly plant.
I hope this helps & good luck..
