1969 Canadian Export Corvette

[Jimmy B.]

I just received GM Canada documentation that my 69 conv. was originally delivered to dealer: Denis Pepin Automobiles Ltd. Ste-Foy, PQ
Has anyone ever heard of this dealership or have any information about it?

Thanks in advance.

Jim, you could try contacting one of the existing dealers in Ste-Foy. One of them could be a decedent dealer of Denis Pepin Automobiles.

Re: 1969 Canadian Export Corvette

Hi have a 67 Canadian export car that was purchased in Montmagny, PQ at BLAIS automobiles LTD near Quebec. I called Canada DMV and found out that they know who all the owners are of my car but they won't give them to me for security purposes. They told me to write them a letter and they will try to forward the letter to the owners who can then contact me. I'm going to give it a try. It seems that everyone speaks french in that area of Canada.

"everyone speaks french in that area of Canada. "

Almost true, just like everyone in the US speaks spanish.

Don,

Many documents still exist...in French...in many parts of Quebec. If you need help with the language there are many members in the Montreal(Quebec)Chapter who would be willing to help.

Re: 1969 Canadian Export Corvette

Rick, Thanks for responding. I would really like to find the original owner of my car as it is kind of unique. It is a 67 427/435, Ermine white with red leather interior. It has power steering, power brakes, power windows, Telescopic, shoulder harness, speed warning, bolt-on wheels, redline tires, F41 suspension, offroad exhaust, and extra coolant. The date ordered on the tank sheet is February 14, 1967 ( Valentine's Day ). I would like to find out who ordered this car with this color combination and so many options. I have the documentation from GM of Canada but would really like to find out the history on it. Canada DMV has records of all the owners but cannot give them out. I sent a letter to them asking them to forward it on to the previous owners if possible. If you or someone you know could help in finding out any information on my car it would be great!! I can supply you with any information that I have. Thanks again, Don.

Re: 1969 Canadian Export Corvette

Amazing what babelfish or google can do. The translation does eventually get the basic meaning across, although it did equate 'feel free to call me collect' with 'be agreeable to collective liberal sensations'.

Don's name was changed to the verb 'mettez' (to put or place)

Most amazingly, it assumed that the wheels came from the town of Bolton- where Scott Sinclair lives. Maybe it's smarter than we think!

You forgot option AM/FM (02U69GA)

.... and your differential is a 3.55 posi (02G81MA). This the most loaded '67 I've ever seen.

Also, Shipping Date is April 4th; Production order # 016773; Dealer # 86622 (Quebec, probably Montreal).

If you have the name of the dealer, maybe you can start there.

Wayne,

Where are you getting that information....I don't think this car had a radio......

Regards,

Rick.
