Original dealer info for 1st gens is available

Thanks to Mr. Sinor,  the NCRS and GM as well as anyone involved with facilitating this  process.

We have paid substantially more than $50.00 in order to obtain just part of this info and did not get a nice certificate to go along with it.

I just purchased a 1974 Z28 yes i know it's a second gen but I would like to know the history on this car. I do have two 69 Camaro's that will be checked also.

22 per page.... If isolated that is 30,000 pages for the first 3 years of Camaro production. What an enormous amount of work.

Actually, it's much more than that - from Roy Sinor's reply #57 in this thread on January 23rd:

"Ed, It gets very complicated and long to explain, yes the information is on microfiche. The problem is it is all Chevrolet production, there is 1926 Chevrolet roadster stuff on one page I looked at.  so we have 22 cars per page on the microfiche. That's 22 Chevrolets not 22 69 Norwood Camaros. imagine now Chevrolet complete production history. we are talking 100,000's pages of microfiche maybe Millions of pages."

This was NOT a low-budget project. :-)

Yes exactly what I was saying... If it were isolated it was 30k plus pages for first gen camaros which alone is a monumental task... however as stated it is not isolated so the task becomes exponentially more complicated.

Read elsewhere that this service has been delayed from mid-April until July - can anyone involved with NCRS confirm?

[rsinor]

I can tell you we have moved the target roll out date to May 1st.

Thanks Roy - will be waiting in anticipation like a kid on Christmas Eve!

Guys, This project is much more complicated for us than the Corvette roll out was. we were fortunate in dealing with Corvette it was a captive audience, read members only,  so we had all of the contact information and did not have to capture that data it in the order process. It was a simple matter of replying to a profile that was established in our database.

We do not have your addresses and contact information, so we had to create that bridge. 

The more serious issue is the number of production plant facilities that this service encompasses. In the Corvette world we dealt with one plant St. Louis, filtered out the different models that were not Corvette and were ready to go, its not near that simple here.

We have multiple plants, multiple models

We are making progress and while the roll out has been delayed it is going to occur, again the date has been moved to May 1, 2014

thanks for the continued help in this endeavor!

Is May 1st still a go or will there be another delay?

[rsinor]

  May 1st is the roll out, you guys be patient here this thing may be overwhelming initially and we may need some time to get caught up. If it flows like it has with the corvette we hope to work into a two to three week turnaround and as with the corvette if that happens and there is need for an expedited service we may expand the service to offer that, initially we just need to get our feet wet and see where it goes. 

[BULLITT65]

Well luckily some of us have at least a shred of our dealer info already, and/or would like to see the results, or documentation that gets delivered back to some of the first who order it. So hopefully you aren't inundated from all of us at once. 

I look forward to some interesting discoveries, and hopefully mysteries solved.

[ZLP955]

Well, I just paid my $50 so fingers crossed!

Well, I just paid my $50 so fingers crossed!

Ditto.  Its the waiting game now.
