After looking around the 2nd gen camaro fourm "Nasty Z28.com" I relized the registry should include all 70 to 73 Pontiac F body,s. Their should be a way to track how many bird,s survive, including Formulas.

Registry for ALL 70-73 Birds?
That's gonna be a BIG ONE.
Even just a T/A one for those years would be HUGE.
Ballpark production for those years is over 11k.
I'd say 60% are still with us.

Approximately 180,000 units and no one sees the value of making quality reproduction full quarter and tail panels. I don't get it.

I think a registry is a fine idea. A database is a database, regardless of the production numbers. Keep in mind the total volume for T/A's from 70 thru 72 is quite low. These cars deserve a registry. Just my $.02.

I think it is a fine idea, with one small problem. Until Jim Mattison steps up and blacks out the key numbers on the invoices that PHS sends out I will remain squeamish about supplying VINs to people I don't know (as should anyone in the hobby). I have aksed and I get the "oh most old cars don't have the original locks anyway" response. I have also determined Jim's legal liability in the issue to be limited to "contributing" in the event that a car is actually stolen and it can be verified that the thief used key numbers supplied by PHS. As a result I find little incentive for him to change, unless we can get enough folks to pressure him into changing. My 2 cents on a registry.....

Sounds good to me but I'm already included in the SD registry.

Can't make out the numbers very well on this copy - from my Revere Silver Formula - but the key codes are in the same row as the VIN, 4th and 5th fields from the left.

My only thought on this is how many locks still use the orignal key,s after all these years? Driving repo for the last 9 years I can,t tell you how many times even on newer cars I,ve run across changed locks.
Just a thought, Jeff.

I'll agree with NW S/D, not many cars have the original locks, I'd guess less than 10 percent and only after being put into storage for 30 plus years.

So,
How would people view the results?
Or is it just for your own use?
Just wondering.

70-73 Registry

Just click the Submit button and it'll show all the vehicles.
Or input certain data in the appropiate places to narrow the search down.
(I.E. Year and color)
