Has photocopies of general information pertaining to the model year, not specific to any one car. Depends on the year as to what's included. Take a 70 kit for example:
GENERAL: Model Identification Serial Numbers and Identification (general syntax, not single car specific) Exterior Equipment - standard by series/model Interior Equipment - standard by series/model Extra cost optional equipment CHASSIS: Front springs Wheels, tires, steering ratios Rear axle & general suspension info Rear springs Brakes - type, material, etc. Bulbs & Lamps Fuses & circuit breakers BODY: Paint colors w/interior combinations Vinyl roof, windshield pillar molding, seat belt/shoulder harness colors DIMENSIONS & WEIGHTS: All kinds of interior and exterior dimensions (headroom, legroom, trunk storage, ride heights, etc. Weights of all series and models POWER TRAINS: Power team combinations (engine/trans/rear ratio) Other misc tech stuff few really care about today like pounds per cubic inch in various series/models. Some engine specs like camshaft lifts, valve sizes, air/fuel filters, carb types, exhaust, etc. Usually a photocopy of one or more sales brochures with whatever info was put out for that year. Factory options lists. Many times the 'Heavy Duty' options aren't listed though, like the L78 in 67, COPO stuff in 69, etc. Finally there's usually pages with AMA (Automobile Manufacturers Association) specs. Much of the same weight, brake, engine, etc. specs found elsewhere but on what I assume to be in a standard format. Cool stuff.

So maybe that is the case then. Thank you much, Henry _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2008 13:57:18 -0500 Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] GM Resto Kit I assume you told the person what car and kit you were looking for? I'd surmise it's an operator option whether they ask for a VIN or not. I'd guess either they ask for a VIN just to make sure the person asking for the kit knows what kind of car they have or could be the operator doesn't really know a 70 Malibu from a 70 Chevelle and just uses the VIN to look up the proper kit. They probably have 'kits' for literally hundreds of different Chevrolet models.

I called the number also and it smoothly. I was not asked for my vin# though. Does that make any difference in the information that I will recieve for my 70 Chevelle? ~Henry _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:33:42 -0500 Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] GM Resto Kit I just called the 800 number also and after answering some recorded messages was forwarded to a lady who checked availability and is sending me a free restoration kit for my 1970 Chevelle Malibu. She said I would be receiving it in about 2-4 weeks. I did however have to give her the VIN number of the car before she would send it. I wasn't sure from the different answers to this if I would need it or not so I had it on hand just in case. It all went very smooth and only took about 5 minutes. Thanks for making this know to everyone so they could take advantage of it.
