That's what I was thinking. I have the 'vinyl' bound album with octagonal lucite emblem in the centre, but it appears a lot more involved than this one. Burd.. ?

I noticed some of these books have more info in them than others. It would seem maybe it was up to the dealers to keep bulletins, etc in these books? Or some people pulled some pages out.

I sent the picture from my phone & clicked the small size option. I usually do medium or large for most stuff. I never realized the small option was a thumbnail. It it very small.

Burd, Did you add the 6.6 litre decal on the shaker? just curious. My L78 Y88 didn't have any decal & I recall somebody saying they only came on the W72 cars. I added the W72 callout on my L78 car about 15 years ago, but am thinking about taking it back off. I like the look, but It seems like every trans am is a T/A 6.6. I like the 6.6 LITRE decals more & more.

Last year I bought a binder that had all the sales bulletins on, there were too. Any to keep them in the same album. Same with the tech binders, last year I found one so complete I had to buy it. Ive seen the lit guys split up stuff to sell too. Funny, in the back of that 77 was an almost complete 1978 dealer album. Just a few pc's missing. If anyone have an empty 1978 binder I'm interested in one.

Was this a dealer manager. or GM manager? Just curious what your build & invoice dates are. One of my Y88's has a 4+ month gap between the two dates.

Still searching to figure out where the heck it was during that time.....

I went to Causley Pontiac ( now Buick) one night, took my build sheet and my PHS ( pretty high services ) lol and they determined my y88 was ordered to stock and one of the dealership managers drove it in 1978, my Y- was built in April, 1978, I told them there was nothing in the trunk and they all laughed, one guy said they would take everything from the trunk to the parts counter so they had more room in these cars. My jack is blue, so it's prob a replacement.
Invoice- PHS paper?

The interior is orig, except a Headliner, Pkg tray, but I have a nOS one from Reaper to put in, and a Console lid, mine had a big Crack, so a nOS Black one was used.


Your car is hot, but your wife is ......

The wheels look great.
