I couldn't agree more. I just don't understand why NCRS can't set up a page to reunite serial numbered parts. Unless they are afraid on all the 1967 big blocks owners who see their original small blocks engines being listed.

Page,
I hadn't thought about that issue but you may be onto something. We read posts every day about owner history, selling dealers, options, original engine configuration and so on. A protect-o-plate tells most all of that. This is the best way available to us to confirm a cars history and we don't avail ourselves of it. For instance I have a whole bunch of selling dealer paper on a 57 FI car. Wouldn't it be nice to re-unite it with tha car.??? How do I go about that.??? In my collection I have owner's kits, Protect-o-plates and other items. I'm sure many other members have as much or more than I have. Oh well- until someone in a position of authority take charge we are stuck.

I talked to the Indiana BMV a couple years ago while researching the history of my car. They told me they do not retain records after 10 years.

Can't we have an overview of US DMV's and the specifics regarding archiving documentation per DMV? that would be very useful before starting to inquire and safe both us and the DMV a lot of time?

Who picks up the glove???

That was me that made the original post with the 61 window sticker. Never got a response. I really didn't expect to, but thought it would be cool if I could match it up again. You never know though. Someone with a nice red matching number big brake fuelie may not want to find the original sticker showing another configuration ! Finding the original window sticker could be a dream come true or a worst nightmare !!

Tom--
Not so much a nightmare, but mixed emotions---I found a 65 convertible in 2002 that hadn't been on the road since 1977. Incorrect Metallic green, replacement 350 seized up, etc.--you get the picture. In the glovebox was the plastic envelope, protecto plate, AM-FM book, etc. A couple of months later, as I was paging through the owners' manual, the original window sticker fell out. After reading it, I didn't know whether to be elated or sad--it came from the factory with a total of 2 options: whitewalls, and radio. It had Base motor, 3-speed, non-posi, no power, regular windows, no tint, etc. Mixed emotions!

I entered the VIN of my 1967 BB in the C-2 registry. I have the window sticker. My friend that I sold it to was killed when he wrecked it. It was totaled. I am watching for the Vin and trim tag to show up on ebay. dale

I personally would still like to know - don't know if I would tell anyone else.
