The GM Media Archives has been quite capable of managing and providing access to significantly larger amounts of information. It really seems absurd to me that the NCRS got exclusive access to these shipping records instead. Do you know how much it cost them or what year it was? From what I've seen the expense had been recouped at least 10 fold.
The NCRS decided what information to hold back and use for their own purposes. Perhaps the rest of us poor cousins were lucky to get reports at all, even though it was ~5 years later. We will likely never get the order# that is also stamped on the trim tags. Unlike all of the Corvettes I expect the majority of muscle cars dont have build sheets on the gas tanks to be 'validated'. The recent discussions about clones like
now infamous LS-6 wannabe is what got me looking into this to begin with.
I had no idea until now that the order# is also on the monthly shipping reports. Maybe everyone knows this and I am just late to the party as usual.
