Typical Restoration page from GM - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I had a scan of a friends Blazer that he sent away for the GM Vintage services restoration package you can get if your vehicle was made and sold in Canada. Tells you the following and gives you a few pages from dealer data book also and a letter from GM.

Hmm maybe not just made in Canada, as this one was made in St.Louis but sold in Canada.

This applies to Canadian vehicles only... The American version does not give specifics on your vehicle ..its a just a general package.

We ran our Camaro through that GM Restoration team a few years back, the info they sent us was WAY off

*Gee_Emm* · 10-15-2003, 09:04 AM

Kinda cool, but thats all you get for $50?? I would expect a little more for my money. Unless your option sticker is missing they arent really telling you much.

**Canadian694x4** · 10-15-2003, 07:33 PM

I would be one of those people interested cause I don't have a readable option sticker

OldSkool71 · 10-15-2003, 09:04 PM

Is there a similar service for GM cars?

Rod · 10-15-2003, 10:21 PM

If sold in Canada the answers Yes.

OldSkool71 · 10-16-2003, 12:24 AM

not for Canada for US.

Rod · 10-16-2003, 10:23 PM

Must be but I dont know where to get one. All those documented factory original cars must be able to be tracked somehow.

1969 GMC · 10-17-2003, 03:31 PM

I have read that if you have a Pontiac, you can order a packet of info on your specific car, including a photograph of it taken right after it left the assembly line. Not sure what years on this, not even sure if its correct. Just something I heard. Oh, this was for the U.S.

*Gee_Emm* · 10-17-2003, 04:06 PM

Man that would be awesome to see a picture of your truck on its birthday.

nu2-72 · 10-17-2003, 04:49 PM

Pontiac is the only GM division that maintained records of all their cars. You can get a copy of the sticker and build sheet.
Chevrolet USA informed me that they made too many vehicles to keep that information.
