I don't believe PHS ever had support from Pontiac. Jim Mattison started this whole PHS thing on his own.

As for fees, yes, it's still a bargain at $65 considering you could be making a mistake buying a $30,000 65 GTO and find out later it's a $5,000 Lemans.

The Chevy guys have had rumors flying around for years that there will be a service like PHS for their cars, but so far, nothing yet. I would imagine 50% of the owners of high end Chevelle SS's, Camaros, and Corvettes would be thrilled to have something like PHS, another 25% will soon find out their car isn't what it was supposed to be, and the other 25% are trying to sell their cars before this service becomes available.

Back in the 80's, some shops were cranking out big-block Corvettes the way Lucy and Ethel were trying to keep the chocolate assembly line moving. Shops made Corvettes to the buyers specs, and they stamped whatever numbers you wanted. Now decades later, those cars have aged and appear original, so it's very hard to be sure of what you're buying.

I believe Joel Rosen of Baldwin-Motion fame charges something like $1500 to come bless your car as a "real one", so $65 for actual Pontiac documentation is still a bargain.
