What documentation/memorabillia do you have for your car?

[Pickles]

I like to collect as much factory information/printed info etc for any car that I own. We have a VZ GTO for which I have the following:
HSV Vinyl wallet containing Owner's manual,Audio instructions, brochures for roadway assistance, paint care, Accident guide, Extended roadside assistance, Mobil 1 brochure, HSV product guide, HSV frequent buyers club card, Holden card application, Walkinshaw Performance brochure, Aus Govt. "accident brochure", VIP protection brochure. Paint "touch up" cylinder.These were all in the Wallet when I took delivery.
In addition I have:
HSV "Z Series Drivetrain Media Release" 7/10/04.
HSV "Z series Brochure, '04 & '05, plus single sheet product range.
Original Dealer order form.
My written notes during ordering/enquiring etc.
HSV Dealer Team Spec-Option revision 9/05
HSV "Tech File" release on LS2
VZ GTO info taken from HSV website.
3 "order status" sheets provided by dealer during various stages of production of our GTO.
4 broadcast production sheets, & all production stickers, taken off car prior to detailing.
HSV "Owner's Own" ordering form & gifts--I received the Aluminium Briefcase & Leather set, plus the Picknick set.
HSV "Data by tag no" sheet relative to our car.
Photos of car being detailed at the Dealer's premises, & also on the showroom floor prior to us taking delivery.
The majority of the above was all provided by the dealer-Barry Bourke.
I also have 4L60 Vs the 4L65E comparison (off the web)
HSV Signature Coupe release bulletin.
HSV "Corporate Range" Apparel brochure
HSV Dealer Team 2006 Apparel brochure.
HSV Dealer "Pedestal Cards" (full set")--usually placed on "pedestals" in dealer showroom.
HSV "Z Series Release" Dealer CD, hosted by Mark Skaife.
HSV "Dealer Posters" for the VZ GTO, & the LS2 engine, together with similar posters for the CV8 Monaro upon which the VZ GTO is based.
Every magazine that I could find containing road tests/ other info etc on the VZ monaro & GTO.
I also have all of my service receipts, & a fully detailed log describing every kilometer the car has been driven.
I find that this sort of stuff adds "character" to the car, especially when one treasures it, as we do.
I was wondering if anyone else was into this sort of stuff.
Cheers, Pickles.

Not quite to the same extent as you but when i worked in a dealership i used the online system to do a printout of the build process of my ute.
From time / date of order, what parts were assembled when and in what order right through til it left the plant.

Other than that, any modifications i've done to the vehicle i've put in an excel spreadsheet with any part numbers for future reference. Will make it easier when it comes time to replace pads etc.

I got a fair bit for my VZ Clubby, including the battery card for when it was installed at the factory, Its all boxed up in a garage now.

Hi Pickles,
I have recently purchased a 2005 GTO with only 11,000 Kim's 1 owner car and have all original books and delivery booklets , I also have the authenticity certificate in the leather folder but missing all other paper work that comes in the folder, I can see you have all the pieces I'm missing, I am desperately hunting for these missing papers. Is there any possibility I can pay you to have these copied to complete my folder?

Thanks Daniel.
