You are so lucky to be able to get proof of your car being real. This GM paperwork is so neat. I would pay GM 10 times their Canadian prices to get paperwork for my car. Maybe they could look a little harder for those files and create a profit center for themselves.

GM in the US does not care about the files that would help us find and stayg clear of the fakes running around pretending to be the Real McCoy. They would have so many lawsuits to deal with, it's not worth it.
I spoke to a guy last year that did the searches before George took over and the Vintage group started charging people for them. Yes they used to be free but listed RPO, key codes, motor numbers options, etc. It had your VIN along with a dozen or so other VINS that also included key codes. That's why they went to the layout from post #1. BTW, GM US does have some paperwork BUT, they were not in one central location like GM Canada had. Some docs are lost and the rest are probably in boxes. If GM cared about the little fish in the sea (Performance gear heads) then the papers would be available as they are in Canada. The only good point in all this is that Pontiac was the only division that kept the records. I guess that means you need to go buy yourself a Goat.
