I also understand that the "owner" of the data was caught up in a law suit with GM because GM wanted the materials back and intended to destroy it, The claim was that it still belong to GM, whereas the courts determined that the material once desposed of by GM was no longer thier property to control. Sort of along the lines of when you put your garbage out on the street for removal its no longer yours .

anyway, that must have cost him some money to deffend, And lets face it, the value of a dollar does not buy as much over the last 10-15 years either.

I am greatfull the documentation exists'. its kind of scarry looking at whats going on with the corvette hobby and all the big blocks 65-67's still coming off the assembly line. really, its only that one sheet of info that confirms authenticity that counts, worth its weight in gold when the stakes are high. and some of the BS that people are pulling in the Pontiac hobby, We should be greatfull that somebody had the insight to save it all.

I for one am greatfull concidering what shenanigans people are pulling. after all there are only 23 of those origonal 8 dual quad 65 GTO's still in existance. thier authenticity must be preserved.

I didn't know that! I think I'll complain less about the higher price...
