Got my paperwork today on my  67 L-35 . The original dealer was Gibson Chevrolet Co Inc, Leadville, CO.  It was sold at Central Chevrolet Co, Grand Junction, CO, per my POP.

Roy,
Just got my refund for 9N707541. I've been glued to this thread since it started. I appreciate all the efforts by yourself
and others to accomplish this task. My question is, did I just get lucky to be one of the missing (random) or does it seem that other October 1969 build cars will also be missing? I guess my real question is whether mine might still have some hope to be found? Thanks again.

I can't answer your question about other cars missing in the same VIN area at this point. We miss about 7% of the cars we check, just the way it is. We have found batches that for some reason did not sort correctly, we have found pages that got missed in the digitization. The important thing to realize is we have kept a record of every car we missed and it is flagged as missed so if we do uncover a group of numbers we will recheck the missed cars against them and notify anyone that it affects.

Roy,

I received my refund very (reluctantly) quickly - N553XXX, in the middle of the "lost" VIN's - please keep us posted on any discoveries. I do believe I would gladly double the fee to find this one, even with the documentation of the matching numbered engine that I have with the car. I was in the first day, in the first 100 to sign up, probably one of the first to get a refund, so I lost my place in line. Thanks again for all of your efforts -

Regards -

We will get caught up on the service and when that happens the turnaround time should not be to painful. It's truly a shame this large batch of early 69 Camaro's is missing. we have confirmed the same information is missing from the NICB file as well. In the Corvette world we did a similar thing keeping track of the VIN's we missed in the initial roll out, we were able to go back and respond to better than 20% of those we initially missed.  Hopefully we will have similar success in this project.  It is a lot more complicated in this project, 10 plus plants all using the same last 6 digits, different body styles, etc. the sort routines are confusing and sometimes less than desirable.  We had one plant, two bodies, no duplicate last six on the Corvette project. By the way this sites spell check does not like Camaro - thinks it should be Camry - go figure!

That's funny..  Camry!    that's exactly the way my dad pronounced it when they first came out.. I tried to correct him, to no avail..

Those will be the zone offices, many zones included multiple states.

Risnor, I have been following this subject and submitted and applications as well. This has to be a labor of love to dig and research through all these files in order to help others find out information about their car(s).  This is a great service you and your team are providing. 

I would like to thank you and your team for researching this information and sending out the information to the Camaro owners here on CRG.  To date, with the more than 600 plus application that you have received, how many actual certificates have been processed, including those that were refunded due to not being in the archive files.

 
TMR..

[KurtS]

Yes, I should have clarified. Every zone had a zone office and that was the location. That should match with the NCRS doc.
E.g. Alabama is zone 31.

X2,, I would also like to thank Risnor and his team, what a great service.  I applied for my car #801, haven't heard yet whether it's good.  Regardless, THANKS!

Statistics as of 5/18 we have processed 446 vehicles. 282 Camaro, 132 Chevelle and 32 Nova.  I'm not going to spend much time on these statistics because it just means at this point anyway I'm not processing reports.

Thank You all for the kind words, it is information the hobbyist deserves to have and I am pleased to be a part of it.
