Vehicle documentation

[PMDJIM]

I understand PHS no longer has documentation for 86 and new cars. GM has their grubby hands in it now through a company called Allied-Vaughn. GM called it part of their Heritage services. Has anyone dealt with this company? I want to get a copy of the build papers for my 95 Firehawk so I can order a window sticker through PHS. I also noticed that this company seems to be more expensive.

PHS can't make a window sticker using the SPID info?

They would need a blank version of the correct model year.

I've gotten stuck on that before for my Chevy's. The repop label people called me asking for an original; I didn't have one so I called the Heritage Center.

They told me to contact the repop label people...

Would the invoice you get from the Heritage center be like what you get from the compnine site?

His is a lot newer car than your invoice vehicle shows.

The compnine wouldn't have the dealer name/address like yours, just the stuff the vehicle came with.

I want to get a reproduction Mulroney sticker for my Firehawk. I recieved the repro of the SLP options. I am just trying to document the car the best I can with what is available out there.

Yes.

You will get a copy of the original invoice, which looks something like this:

Sorry - was interrupted before I could finish my thought -

Allied Vaughn is the outside contractor that GM is using in order to archive, maintain and access the information.

They also are administrating the use and distribution of many of the photos in the GM collection.

FWIW -

Is it worth 50.00 to get a build sheet?

[Keith Seymore]

Only you can decide.

One other (minor) clarification relative to terminology:

The build sheet is the document that followed the vehicle down the line. Typically found in the seat cushions, on top of the gas tank, inside the door trim, etc, it exist only in the vehicle (if that) and is not available through any historic service.

Invoice - is the document that details the option content and pricing. A Chevrolet version is shown above; I know you are familiar with the Pontiac version.

Window sticker - is of course the Mulroney price label.
