Default Any word?

Is there any word on Jim`s progress or lack there off with the factory paperwork? I really wish GM would wise up and let him get this done.

I think GM is in the car selling mode not the paperwork mode at the moment.

You got that right they are going under fast thanks to ford and dodge at the moment. Never thought i would say that but they are leading the way for everyone to follow!

The word is not good. Read this:

I have talked to Art on the phone. I believe him to be sincere.

[/ QUOTE ] The author of the article Art Armstrong explains "The other GM divisions, Cadillac, Pontiac, etc., had much smaller production volumens and interpreted the GM Records Retention Policy differently and therefore retained said documents."

Sounds pretty clear to me. The record keepers at the Pontiac division just weren't as quick to pitch their records in the dumpster, and not because they had any great foresight or because they had any intentions of releasing them to enthusiasts, but because the paperwork simply didn't stack up quite as quickly at Pontiac as it did in the Chevrolet offices. Sounds to me like the Chevrolet paperwork is MIA and has been for some time.

Well after reading the first thread about jim it started out saying Corvettes are almost done....So that means he knows where paperwork is hiding more than Art or someone is not telling the truth. After reading about PHS i have faith in Jim that he will uncover more than you all think.

When I was conected a few years ago, I had someone very high in GM tell me it would never happen even if they had the records. They did not want to have to be constant expert witnesses in court. I was led to believe on the hush that if the records were found, they would probably not be found.
