Hey Jenn, I just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work. I didn't put in a request (the RPO's are good enough for me), but I may some day. I just wanted to say that I appreciate all the time you are taking to help out the 3rd Gen Community. Thanks!! Oh, and congrats on the baby!!

I got my invoices last week, and I needed to say once again THANKS Bunches...

One thing I found out... Both of my cars were made within DAYS of each other... 6-24-87 & 6-26-87 were the ship dates... BUT the kicker is they were shipped from different factories... Pretty neat... And if you ever wondered Norwood OH had a higher production number than the Van Nuys production number even tho the Norwood car was shipped first...

LOL I wouldn't say the ThirdGenners are NERDS... I would just say "VERY devoted enthusiasts"...

Can we change the name to Third-Jenn? Just a thought...

Just wanted to say thanks as mine came in the mail today. Wasn't exactly as I was expecting because its kind of weird.

Has my real VIN(1G5 instead of 1G2) and the two options available but has the LC2 as a 5.0 TPI deduct. Which is probably how it left the factory before being converted into a TTA.

I knew the anniversary option was 10K and the invoice proved that

Hey Shawn!

Sometimes they would add the person's name to the invoice, but sometimes they wouldn't. Sorry, I know that's not a very scientific answer. I can look it up for you though; just shoot me an e-mail to jennifer.knightstep@gm.com.

Hey Jenn! I just thought I'd let you know that I got mine yesterday and that I sent you my brother's VIN and info on his '84 T/A.
I found out that my car was ordered from a dealership(Davidson Chevrolet-Buick,Inc.) in Booneville,Mississippi...just a state over from mine..

Thanks

Hey Jenn, I sent my request a couple of days ago to the GMMA e-mail address. Is that ok? Are you still going to get it or do I need to send it to your other e-mail address? Thanks again Jenn for all of your hard work. We appreciate it. :hail:

I wonder what are the odds are that out of 7 Trans Ams, only one came up? On the one, I did notice something interesting; it was shipped a 1-1/2 months after I picked it up from the dealer. And yes, the VIN was correct. Thanks anyhow Jenn.

The things is, PHS was supposed to only get COPIES of what we have, but for some reason, there are a lot we don't have that PHS does. I'm not pointing fingers or anything like that, but I acn't even figure out which ones we DON'T have until I look for them. Weird. Anyway, I'm sorry we don't have the rest of your invoices. You can always get them from PHS; maybe he'll give you a bulk-rate discount

Hi Jon!

Yes, I got your request on 12-15. I sent it to the micro-film lab on 1-14. It's currently taking anywhere from four to six weeks to get it back from microfilm. It took a month to get it to micro-film b/c I can only send 11 requests per day...

Hi qiker!

Yup, that's the replacement key code. We have to black them out for "security" reasons. Wouldn't want someone pretending to be qiker getting their hands on your key codes, and swiping your car.

Hi Jenn.. I'm just seeing and looking at this thread today and hope I haven't missed the boat on being able to obtain original documentation for my car.

I hope I'm not too late to get in on this. I'm composing an email to you now.

This is a Godsend that you're doing this for us 3rd Genners.

Thank you again,

Chris

No no thank you....While your here.....my invoice does not show RPO AS5 for the Recaro seats....Although my SPID and cowl tag do......I wanted extra backup on the seats and was going to (finally) order PHS docs.

If you both have the same info it looks like I would not find what I need there either.

Any comments: Anyone? Is the AS5 included in the B20 ?

Hmm...I wonder if maybe the invoice just doesn't show it? If anyone else with that same option ordered an invoice from me, please check the invoice and see if the option is listed on the invoice.
