i got my invoice from the archives!!

so i got curious and contacted the GM media archives.i ordered the invoice for my 1986 camaro, and just as i suspected,there on the RPOs.......B4Z !!! it gave me all the options my car was built with.and when it was built, and the dealer it was shipped to. which, in my case, was "cross chevrolet co." in huntersville N.C. if any one else is missing the SPID from their console,this is a good way around that problem.and well worth the $50 i might add. and ,damn! $18,348 in 1986 dollars!! SOMEONE wanted that car,and badly. just a heads up ,fellow members. GM media archives ROCKS!!

Re: i got my invoice from the archives!!

I was also pleased with GM Media Archives services. Although the invoice is basically just a sheet listing the options, among other things, it is not a complete replacement for a SPID sheet.


I recommend this service.

Re: i got my invoice from the archives!!

Absolutely: I've done this too.

Fortunately there were no surprises, but if you've bought some random car (or have a bunch of cars, probably that's the better scenario) it sure takes the guesswork out of which ones have a "life" downstream of you in the sale category.

Obviously both OE EQUIPMENT and CONDITION are king in used cars; this is a great way to find out if you've got a "clone", or the "real thing". Even though, in these cars, "the real thing" doesn't carry anywhere near the same weight that it would in a 1st gen.

But still, it'll help keep you out of the weeds, and help the big head regain control over the little head when it comes down to decision-making time.

Both of Scott's cars there are good examples of top-of-the-line cars for their years. Maybe not "everything", but, pretty close.
