Got one that says "GM Overseas Distribution" Possibly the Netherlands. Bummer... Ya think this might have been a serviceman working overseas and ordered it up? The original Delivery Dealer = Dealer Code 1 Zone 21 . Anybody know what or where that is?...Danny

Look back a few pages, Kurt posted a long list of Zones as of 1969 and #21 was "export"

Came in the mail yesterday, #846…
Dealer code 592, zone 11, Yarnall-Todd Chevrolet, Chicago area, IL
A little research and it is now (and has been for quite a while) Bill Stasek Chevrolet. Anyone familiar with the place?
Of some interest to me was my trim tag shows 06A, all my parts show last week or so of June (all Norwood '69 June Camaros were 06A) and CRG had my VIN # in July.  I always wondered if my car got held back for touchup or something and left a little later than it should have, but my document from NCRS says official production date was 7/2/69.  After reading earlier posts about trim tags and production dates it's cool to see the actual info and understand it better.  Another big 'Thank you' Roy Sinor!

Heard Roy Sinor may not be involved in this programme any longer, can anyone confirm? If so, I hope it was always the plan to get it up and running and then hand it over. This is a great service and I'd like to say another big "Thank You" to Roy and the NCRS.

Dealer code 1 zone 21---same as mine, ordered while on tour. Did get delivered to a dealership in Michigan, and picked up like any other car. As a matter of fact, he had the dealer install a Sun Tac in dash ,ordered headers,etc. In the warranty book, on mine anyway, does not list the dealer. When I get with him , I'll find out the dealership name. Perhaps code 1 serviced a broad area for guys coming back as "home" was just west of Cleveland.

I had heard the same thing and was wondering myself.

Guys two answers, zone 21 dealer 1 was overseas distribution, some cars were order by servicemen stationed overseas and delivered overseas, some were ordered by servicemen and delivered state side when they returned and some were exported to foreign countries. all of those things were handled by the overseas distribution division.

Secondly I am no longer involved with NCRS in any shape form or fashion, I'm proud of what this service provides, I'm proud of my service record to NCRS, I'm proud of the lifetime achievement award presented to me last July., I wanted to continue working on this project but will not be doing that. 

I no lkonger have access to any of the information.

Enough said.

Sorry

Roy, enjoy working with you at Barrett Jackson and I know you have a lot on your plate.  I hope that everything for you continues to move in a positive direction.  We'll always have plenty to do at BJ.  See you in Reno.

Roy, I too thank you for all you've done to help us out. I also appreciate you monitoring the site and answering everyone questions. (And there have been a lot). You've really been on top of things. I do hope this service will continue to be available to us all. Thanks again Roy.

I'm pretty sure the service will continue, I'm not privy to any of the details, do not know the plans, or who will process the stuff.
