Authenticating A COPO

[Super_Z28]

Where can someone take a Copo or other High-End GM to get it authenticated ? I have heard some say GM Tech Guild ... Im interested in getting Bullet-Proof documentation from the most credible source available ... Any suggestions ???

GM Tech Guild? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] Never heard of it, but I doubt there's anyone or any group within GM currently that can do what you're looking for. For my money, if you post all pertinent info here, you'll get as much bulletproof 'documentation' as you can get anywhere.

There are no Chevy build records and with the current body of knowledge near-perfect clones are easy to create. Camaro Hi-Performance can examine a car to determine how technically correct it is. There are VIN lists for ZL-1s, Gibb Novas and Yenko Deuce Novas.

Pontiac has PHS records back to '58 or so; there are Olds build records but only back to '72.

There is info on GM cars imported to Canada but I'm not certain it fits your &quot;bullet-proof&quot; requirement.

Thanks Bill ... Im gathering info about the car and will freely submit everything as I document it, but it goes a long long way when a MacNeish type &quot;expert&quot; renders a professional opinion ... I was hoping GM of Canada could do more than the historical paperwork

[Super_Z28]

Thanks William ... The car is Canadian and I have all the Documents from GM historical ... I want to verify the car wasnt built from their records

No, I havent seen that one yet ... Im hoping to help others who want to buy a high end classic without having to worry its a fake or a re-body or some other major flaw that some others have found to be the case

My Canadian Pace car came with all of the ownership history. It's important to be able to talk to all of the past owners to make sure that there are no &quot;gaps&quot;.

MTO records only go back to 2004 ... I have the original owners name but havent been able to verify him as of yet
