Broadcast sheets, VIN sequence and build dates

[toad]

This apparently is with the car I'm about to buy. For the most part I am not too concerned, except as to know the integrity of the current Vendor. I have posted some pictures of the car and have taken extensive time to research all of my information. It is truly a survivor. However according to what I've read so far as to the rarity of these documents with a Norwood built Camaro I'm sceptical.

 I can't comment on the codes, but my first impression is the exceptional condition of the paper and hues for being 46 years old.
I re-read your thread thinking is this was a reproduction document but I see now this is supposed to be a real one.

Body and chassis broadcast copies often remained in completed cars shipped from the plant. They were usually discarded during new car prep. However a few dealers put them in the glove box or in the folder of paperwork retained by the dealer. That may be what occurred here as yours looks genuine.

Hi William,

  What concerns me is though it may have been put in a secure place, oxidation from air will still take place.
My '67's UOIT was found under the carpet so it was spared handling damage, but it still turned yellow from the air exposure.

Just an observation.

where was it located when found by the other owner? Glove box? or somewhere else? Hw long has it been in a binder, vs. under a carpet?

[william]

I have one for a '69 Camaro and it looks like new. Also have other paperwork from the same dealer.

Last fall I saw an original Gutenberg bible, 558 years old. Probably wasn't always well stored but still looked pretty good. Kept dry and indoors, paper does just fine.

Ok same question, where was yours found on the car and how long had it been there before being emoted and preserved elsewhere?

[toad]

When I seen it it was in a plastic sleeve in a binder. Don't know for how long but the original owner pictures of her and the car from 1971 when in the same binder with dates on the Polaroids as well bill of sale from Nickey Chevrolet

very cool. I would suspect that is why it is in such great condition now. The car looks like a great find. Was it local find for you or how did you come across it?

[toad]

Yes and I have looked at a few others in the past couple of years within a couple of hours from me. This one by far is in the most original condition with all of it's born with parts. It's a rolling museum really if I purchase the car I'll post all of the details. Out of curiosity, what do you all think  it might be worth? Thnx

Another thing if this is the body broadcast, there's a very real possibility that the Chassis broadcast is still above the gas tank, correct?

The sheets above the gas tank have been found only on Los Angeles built cars.  This car was built in Norwood Ohio.

Do you have the casting dates on the block and the heads?  Reason I ask is,  my 07C car has a VIN number 275 after this car and has an engine build date of 06-19.  Your car has an engine build date of 07-10.  Curious to see if the casting dates match up with the build date.

Norwood car? Doubtful.

Hmmm - DF ralleys with a Y55 battery, E70-15 tires. Looks interesting -
