Just read the first 6 lines of each page. It's perfectly clear what they are.

I inferred the question to say, "Are these pages what they purport to be? Or is it someone with a good dot matrix printer?"

The '63 Chevy-2 V8 production information is no doubt amazing on it's own but to be clear in what's been stated above, nothing has been substantiated to suggest the subject '63 Nova of this thread is one of the original V8 cars noted in the production documents..

To further clarify, Verne's mention of the 4 digit code indicating COPO or F&SO was in reference to what's been seen on full size cars only but reported to be common on tags of standard RPO equipped Oakland built Chevy 2's..

Also, of the V8 cars noted in the documents as produced, nothing presented indicates they were built as a Copo.. Could've been but we don't know this do we?.

Just thought it best these points were clearly understood before anyone considers the information here as substantiating the subject car seller's statements...or if this site and thread somehow end up being pointed out to justify these claims?.

You're right Pete, I got overexcited thinking we may have a very rare find. Still no real proof this car is one of three. I did not mean to put Verne or his info on the spot.

Good to hear the clarification. I think we're all on the same page now.

As to the production documents, they were compiled and published in the '80s. They were retyped but the data was taken from original Chevrolet records that the author obtained with Chevrolet's permission.

I didn't mean to upset anyone with my answers, and if I did I apologize. I just thought the titles of the pages made it very clear as to the meaning of the data.
