Some Changes to the Registry

                                                                    with: Patrick Smith

    PHS Collector Cars has made some changes to the Y Code LeMans and GTO Registry. We track the value of the Y Code model using various pricing guides and auction reports and noticed the average sale price for these cars crossed the $30,000 barrier a year ago. This means there are many of these cars selling over $30,000. Due to the limited production total and rising value, we decided this vehicle is no longer a bargain muscle car to be built up as a cheap ride, 455 HO clone or Judge substitute. It appears some owners are putting them back to original condition. When this situation occurs, it's possible for some bad actors to start using information for unlawful purposes. For this reason, we decided to remove the complete VINs of all entrants except for cars which are in an obvious parts car state or missing a drivetrain or were totaled.

  All the VINs we have recorded are still on efile but are no longer on public view. In future we will also refrain from listing any location details other than State or Province. We are in the process of creating a certificate of Membership to the Registry and when details have been finalised we will post this online.

  By the way, plans are proceeding with hard copy of Y Code Registry Certificates. We will have our proof copy to review in a few weeks and when we sign off with that, the first one will be produced for Miss Hot Stuff, followed by others for the verified Y Code registrants. To obtain a Certificate of Y Code Registry, you need to provide the following information:1 Proof of current ownership in the form of a State or Provincial vehicle registration. 2 a copy of the Pontiac Historical Service shipping invoice showing VIN, options, selling dealer. etc plus the paint and trim combination of your particular car.3 A check payable to Patrick Smith to handle the shipping and related expenses of producing the Certificate. We will be providing the cost as soon as the proof has been approved and we know the production cost.

The address for mailing for a Certificate is:
