Bill    Call General Motors Communication center in Oshawa Ontario,@1-800 263-3777 and ask for the Historical data department.The fellow who does all the research on Canadian built cars,and American built cars that sold in Canada brand new is George Zapora.you give him the Vin number and your Visa number and if your car was built here ,in about four weeks after you talk to him you are one happy guy when the post man delivers a big envelope to you.It is amazing the stuff they have kept on old micro feesh on our cars.The last time I had one done it cost about $45 Canadian,so about $30 US.If the 1-800 number does not work in the States then ask the long Distant Operator to give you General motors of Canada Limited on 1908 Colonel Sam Drive,Oshawa Ontario's phone Number.                                                                                                                                      Good luck                                                                                                                                      Grant ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 5:00 AM Subject: [Chevelle-List] Another VIN Question Thanks to all who helped with the last question.  Ended up the guy had really lost the cowl tag... easy replacement.  I just received another email from another Chevelle owner......(please see below).  Thanks in advance for your help. Donnie Gates ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HI, My name is Bill, and I recently bought a '70 SS clone from a guy I have known for 25 years (he had the car that long too).  When I bought the car, it never occured to me to check the VIN tag in the dash.  I have now discovered that the tag is gone.  He said the tag was lost when the car was in the body shop, and they replaced the windshield.  I have since learned that many people have problems with the tag when they replace the windshield.  Nevertheless, I am now trying to verify the car to the title.  It is a Canadian car (according to the title VIN, which does not have an alpha charachter in it).  Anyway, I have looked in the places suggested by local law enforcement veterans, but I have not had any luck.  I figured that perhaps someone in your club who has done a frame-off has laid eyes on such "hidden" numbers, and could direct me.  It would be helpful to have an exact location and number size.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
