Congratulations. Now can we move on?
One of the most divisive subjects I've ever seen here, please let's just accept the disagreement occurred and stop the points scoring?

General Discussion / Re: Original dealer info for 1st gens is available

« on: November 08, 2020, 09:37:41 AM »

My 67 RS convertible was built in Norwood and exported to France.  I assume this would not have been through a dealer, so wondering if there is any point applying for the NCRS information?  Or would GM France have been the dealer?  Their sticker is on the rear quarter window. If not, does anyone know where to find additional information about the export cars? Thanks.

From memory, your car was well-travelled and had a metal Duvivier emblem on it? R. Duvivier was a big Paris-based dealer for GM cars and trucks. Unsure of the relationship between individual dealers and the national representative, but if I had to guess, I’d think dealers ordered their own stock via GM France. Personally, I’d take a chance and pay the fee to see what info came back, and you could always try to contact GM Europe to see if they kept any import records. Whatever you do, that’s a really cool car and I would love to hear more!

Based on the photos, looks like seller has gone to eBay:

I think Chick made that modification in his 68Z build thread at Team Camaro?

He did, and found it: https://www.camaros.net/threads/time-for-another-68-z-28-to-be-restored.182584/page-16#post-1601716

Here’s a couple I have on file, cannot recall the source unfortunately. Didn’t post them previously, in case it influenced replies.
The April one looks to be the same pad as posted above.

Sounds like a nicely-optioned car and in an unusual colour for the model. But I can't see any of the posted images, just these symbols for each:

Share your concerns, but you’re in the right place to get the best advice from the very knowledgeable members here.
Are you the owner, or considering buying the car?

Don’t know anything about the P-T scene to know if it’s well-built, but assuming it is, surely such a car with a Summit 427 crate engine would be lucky to sell for $150k, so can only assume the selling dealer listed it at that price purely as an attention-seeker to promote his business.....

I think anyone who has tried to compile records of any particular cars or component details understands how hard it is to maintain focus, and keep the data accurate, consistent and relevant. I’ve tried, and failed, so very much appreciate the work the CRG core members do behind the scenes.
