How to send for GM of Canada records?

[Supercar_Kid]

Can someone steer me in the right direction here? I'd like to see if GM of Canada has any records on a Canadian built 70 Chevelle. Not sure if it was originally sold in Canada or not, but definitely built there. Not anything special, just curious as to how it was equipped and where it was shipped when new. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Erik,
Call George Z GM Canada
give credit card no
they will mail you a info kit
if you want it quicker for an additional fee they will email results
search Team Chevelle for phone no

Thanks Joe, I just got off the phone with George. My records are on the way. How easy was that? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Maybe some day they will all be that easy /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Just curious... does GM of canada have records for all cars built there, of just cars sold there, or both? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

I BELIEVE THEY HAVE BOTH. I GOT THEM TO DOCUMENT A 1979 MALIBU WAGON THAT WAS BUILT IN CALIFORNIA AND SOLD NEW IN CANADA.

They have records on cars built and/or sold in Canada. The Gov. required the info recorded on imported cars also as they have info on COPO and LS6 Chevelles built in Baltimore sold in Canada.

Cool, now all i need is a Baltimore built/Canadian sold COPO and I'm all set with the documentation. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif Thanks for the replies guys. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

What do they provide in ways of options for a specific car. Say if I had a Canada sold Camaro, will they provide a complete listing of what options the car was ordered with or a partial listing. otherwise how detailed is the GM/Canada paperwork for a car?

[Stefano]

Jeff,
The option list has been very complete,in my experience with "regular" muscle cars as well as COPO Cars.

[JChlupsa]

Mahalo could a L78 car be ordered without a Tach? and would that show on the paperwork from Canada

[Stefano]

Tach/Center Fuel gauge was a stand alone RPO option and not required as part of the L78 or any other engine option.

So the info would simply not show the option code if it did not come equipped that way, from the factory.

Check the Message Board "Pictures" section of www.canamchevelles.com. (http://www.canamchevelles.com.) You will see the GM Canada documentation for our Baltimore built Chevelles. The 1988 documentation of the COPO car wasn't as complete as it is today. They have the documentation for cars built and/or sold new in Canada. Nice piece of paper to have. This should answer Jeff's question as well.

Just got off the phone after speaking with George abt. documentation for a COPO 9561,

What a great, and helpful person!

Whatever options were ordered on the car is the way the paperwork will show for cars leaving (export) or entering (import) Canada. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif
