Data Mining phs.org
Should be www.phs-online.com
I briefly talked to Jim at phs-online.com (nice guy) about scanning their microfilm invoices and compiling the data. Then we would know all sorts of great stuff, like how many of what options where produced and even what dealer sold the most/least of each model.
They would like to do it but right now it's to cost prohibitive and Pontiac/GM is not going to help as they are in the business of selling new cars not supporting old cars.
To bad, there is so much data sitting on microfilm just waiting to be found.

Re: Data Mining phs.org
It's such a shame someone I knew had a connection at Gm and offered to put ALL the third gen data on a hard drive for easy acess,But they turned him down.

Re: Data Mining phs.org
I have been tempted to ask Jim if he would let me go through all of the old information and do it myself for the third gen stuff, but it would take a lot of time and thats something I don't have right now... I have considered doing it for just the 15 1989 verts which I have no informaiton on to complete my list and I have not even gone that far...
Fortunately he is only a hop away from where I am.
