REEDMAN CHEVROLET IN LANGHORNE PA
 

I found a 1970 Monte Carlo with a 402 4 Speed. No build sheet but the VIN's match on all the drivetrain.

M21's did not come in a Monte Carlo. Anyway I could find out from the dealership, or anybody out there know how to get documentationm, or verify if you could have special ordered the M21 instead of the M20?

I sent an Email to the dealership, and they were not much help.

NOT many dealerships are of any help. No records and really don't care!

Best way is to have someone who's VERY knowledgeable on stampings check it out. If it's an M21 and the CON VIN stamp is legit, you've got your answer.

Yeah, I noticed they are not much help. I was hoping that someone here may have some insight on how I could get the info..

Why try email when you can call?

Speak with the General Manager. Understand they're in the business of selling new cars, not looking for old docs. However, there may be an oldtimer there.

Another thing: Do you live nearby? I never had luck with my original selling dealership, so I drove 4 hours with the old jalopy and finally found a sympathetic person. Six months later, I had the docs for my car.

If the partial VIN is on the block and tranny then your answer should be simple. The Muncie stamp will start with a P then an 0 for 1970, then a letter and number for the assembly date, followed by one of three letters: A = m20 B = m21 C = m22

eg: P 0 23 B Muncie trans, 1970, February 23, M-21 close ratio 4 spd.

The partial VIN could read: 10Lxxxxxx 1 for Chevy, 0 for 1970, L for Los Angeles plant, last six of the VIN

Post the stamping info and we will help decipher.

I've spoke with their records person on the phone once, she was very nice but the short answer to your question are those records are long, long gone. She told me she gets "these type of phone calls often". Good luck with your search.

I live a few miles from reedman, right before Toll Brothers bought Reedman I went thru a few older buildings " that rumored to have some paper work" only thing in there was old lifts and shop materials. My friends wife is Bruce Tolls secratary and she says there is microfische some where, its been 4 or 5 yrs and she could not find it. (I have offered her a pretty good buck to look every where) but nothing!! I know there is one original salesman from the late 60's that still works part time.Maybe try on the weekend to take a ride there if not to far. Good Luck

Your right, I sent an email and got one back saying that all the records went to the family.

1st off, I want to buy the car but not sure if it is for real yet. The car was not burgandy with a black top, it is triple green.

I live in Seattle, but if they were close, I would surely do that. I have been known to be more persausive in person.

P0T18B and 10B134769 is the stamp on the tranny. This equates to an M21 built in 18 december of 1969 and the VIN matches the car's VIN.

Owner does not have documentation, but the car is all original except the air cleaner, starter, water pump and carb.
