1969 Pacecar , A few production Questions

[pacecar]

Thanx RPOZ11 , I guess your right but I have seen a fair amount of pace cars in canada,( 80 s Camaros )
Is there a registry for Canadian Z ers /copos/and others for 67-68-69 ?????
If not we should get 1 happening , could only help with getting a better picture of what the true production numbers really are ( at least a wider vision ) ????

thanx Pacecar

A registry for Canadian cars, Not that I am aware of (other than the COPOS listed here on sYc)...My dates of January might also be a bit premature for VIN assignments on these, I go but my recollection on those Ive seen over the years...

Z11 Pace Car production began on 02D, the fourth week of Feb 1969, at the Norwood, Ohio Assembly Plant. My car, VIN 610XXX was a factory display car and was built on 02D and shipped from the Norwood plant on 03/11/1969. Dealers were told of the existance of the Z11 package in mid-January 1969.

There were a number of Z11s sent to Canada. I recall looking at a 396 automatic Z11 in 2001 in Canada that had its GM of Canada documentation. I didnt buy it because it was a horrible restoration: they actually welded new quarters on top of the old ones - just horrible I drove 16 hours with a trailer, took one look for about 15 seconds and turned around and drove back home, another 16 hours. I was not a happy camper at the time.

I wish I had a buck for every one of those trips.

First one I know about is 02D VIN N607547, which is prior to the two real pacecars. This is what it looked like about a year ago.

I am trying to get my hands on the Original USCC REGISTRY. Maybe I can get with Kurt and add his to it. We had a few hundred cars, and the numbers we posted were total speculation, derived from the 10% sampling we had.
Hopefully the original registry is not destroyed.
