1962-1972 Corvette Shipper Information

[737Driver]

Looks like GM is providing NCRS with shipper info that NCRS will provide for a cost.

I think this is big news. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

lets hope they will do it for camaros as well!

That's where GM Oshawa get their information also. The GM of Canada shipping lists are on microfilm. Back in the late '80s when I first got the GM info on our old Chevelle, they used to print off a page of the shipping list as well for you. Your car would be on that page as well as a lot of other cars. Key codes and other stuff was also on the page. Neat stuff to have. There might be a lot of shocked and unhappy campers out there when they find out the truth about their cars. On the other hand, there are going to be many very happy and some times pleasantly surprised folks too.

The info is there for other GM cars, but, NCRS only has the right to release the Corvette info per their agreement with GM.

So there <span style="font-weight: bold">is</span> info on all the camaros/chevelles/novas built? 60's on up?

[Dave Rifkin]

How do we go about getting that information for our Corvettes?

Can SYC do the same as NCRS?

My understanding is that the infomation provided is just the date and dealer/zone that the car was originally shipped to. Unlike GM Canada, there is no option information available for U.S. cars. GM of Canada has the option information because it was provided by GM for customs purposes.

They're apparently accessing the NICB records. GM had requested copies of the NICB data several years ago.

I agree. It's looking like access to a standard NCIB hand search for microfische records has finally been granted. Thats great news.

This information is a good start to help document vehicles.

What if you have paperwork on your rare Corvette and the zone and dealer number are not the ones that this new informaton provides?

[PeteLeathersac]

Cool to get this much at least!.
No doubt and as Tim notes, lots of docs will probably note dealers other than what was recorded!.
These will probably be simply dismissed as dealer trades or mistakes but if on the buying side something else to consider when making decisions..
Is the info by Vin available to any NCRS member regardless if being the car owner...like the GM Canada info is?.

Maybe I'm wrong on this one but don't some years of NCIB reports have some notation regarding engine size?.
Not always recorded or even correct if it was but noted for some reason like taxing by engine size?.
Maybe it's a taxed total and dividing by some figure gives an idea if SB or BB?.

It is my understanding this is not NCIB related. This is GM shipper documentation that GM approached the NCRS with two years ago. It has taken that long to get to this point. It could possibly lead to more detailed info at a later time.
As for engine designation, MSO info contained weight which indicated SB or BB. I do not know if this released info will contain said weight.
There is info for other than Corvette, but, NCRS only has authorization to release Corvette data.

I was mistaken. It's from internal GM shipping records for Corvette, but no option info.

If GM found the original shipping information-or even any portion of those records sent to the NCIB then that is good news too.
