<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: PeteLeathersac</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Cars earlier than 1977 model year are difficult to verify as GM Vintage only has microfilm for vehicles built in Canada or built in the US and shipped new to a Canadian dealer..
But Vin specific, RPO and as built info is on file for 'almost all' 1977 and newer North American GM product regardless of where built or shipped new and great for cool GM cars built over the last 35 years now coming of age like these Monte SS cars, '77-81 Z28's, Grand Nationals etc!.

Pete, I contacted George and this is what they offer for cars like mine.

&quot;we would have engineering specs and could decode your spid label if you like, $73.45 CDN.&quot;

I don't know what he means by engineering specs, and the RPO label, I can decode that myself.

Those are the original tires. The 88's came with GT +4's. and I'm sure some of the 88's came with GT's too.

Engineering specs is probably more like brochure info
but are you saying Geo clarified they don't have the other info available for your car as noted in the below text from GM Canada Vintage Vehicle Services website?.

Pete, I gave George the vin number and said I would like to know what they had on my car and that one line is all he sent back.

A friend of mine just finished is monte carlo 87 restoration project. Your car is in really neat condition, good purchase.. cograt.

[PeteLeathersac]

George is a great guy and it's worth messaging him again to clarify if the info the website notes is available or not and if no, is it just missing from this specific Vin or what?.
Maybe even give him a link to this thread and he can answer himself as it's been too long since he dropped by the site anyway!.

I got the car a week ago today and this is the first nice day since, the snow has melted and it's 50 outside. For the first time I got to look at the car in the light and drive it more then an inch (just around the block). After a good detail, this car's gonna look really nice.

Congrats, Frank, that's a beauty for sure. Marilee and I have a soft spot in our hearts for those as we bought a white 84 SS new and drove it every day for 8 years.

I NEVER remembered the gold stripes when they were new? How rare is that?? I only remember red. I do remember seeing several burgandy &amp; brown colors, thinking &quot;why didn't they just get black?&quot;. Nice ride!
