You betcha!
I am going to send you a PM but maybe you could let us know how it came to be that you have the first FPR.
It was a BARS ORDER CODE 90- Special Events Vehicle. Did you buy from a dealership?

It does not seem you are able to receive PM's yet as a probationary member I guess. I have sent a guest message, but not sure if that will get through. Failing that, I will post an email address here for you.

Dale, I just noticed that 23311 is actually a 6 speed. I know as I have sat in it. That's the one that has 18 km's on it. Up date time. :-)

Thanks Mike. I guess I forgot to break down the 's because there are three 6sp's.
Good timing as I am in the process of doing a spreadsheet for all 826 FPR's.

Is there another list/thread that includes my 23644?

No Art. I have created a sequential list (on my computer-not on the forum) of all 826, trying to get an overall view of the build sequence and RPO commonalities over the 30 odd day FPR build. Something I will never complete without having Build Sheet access but it gives pretty good insight. I will continue to add information as it becomes available through viewing sales vehicles, new build sheet requests etc.
You are #358 of 826 if that is of interest.

What you say is always of interest.

A little confussed... I have a 2006 Aqua Blur. It has 3SS & VYJ options. Does anyone know how many of these were made as 2006's (not just FPR, which looks like from Feb-Mar)? Mine was made 9/12/2005.

If you go back to the thread you originally posted in, The Last Aqua Blur SSR
this gives you the totals for all MY2006 .
Yours is #65/189. The last 42, #148 through #189 were Final Production Runs.
If you want to know how many 3SS with VYJ you will have to go to the Last Of thread and count them.
If my records are up to date I believe you bought this one from Ed O'Hearn in Braintree MA.

Thanks. I did buy this from Eddie. me and him grew up together and still are friends today.

I was on the phone quite a bit with Eddie when I helped put the deal together on his last year. You should encourage him to get on the forum a bit. He is a member but never posts.

I recently bought a red '06 Vin 23301 with chrome pkg. and approx 13,800 miles. Would welcome any informataion, manufacturing date etc. Although I have had two other SSRs, I only this summer joined the fanatics. Thanks

Congratulations! I don't have much history on this one other than it was in Saginaw MI prior to it being for sale at NFwy.
For build information and DOB post the VIN in this thread.
Build Sheet Requests

Just noticed this 06 breakdown for the first time. Thanks Cash.

Now I wish I would have put a little more pressure on Kevin Whitaker Chevy when I bought mine in July 2006. He had that "one" PB/Black 6 speed. Salesman told me it was for Kevin's son.

OUOTE
Mine (23387) came with the FPR badge installed, but the FPR designation is not on the build sheet. When I requested a reprinted window sheet with the designation on it, GM Canada had no interest in doing that. I can't get a reprinted window sheet from GM US, because it's a Canadian vehicle.

I remember being really excited about the badge when I first saw JR's truck in the showroom at Nicholsons in Edmonton, because I didn't know until that time that the trucks were badged - but I sent JR a PM to confirm my mind is in fact fully operational.


twooldfarmers
as you have stated in the above quote, no one is interested in doing a repop of a Canadian window sticker so....

If I can find someone with a 2005 Z49 window sticker over the winter to complete the set for all MY's I hope to be able to get the blank Z49 templates in an electronic form that any Canuck Fanatic could take to Staples (or?) and have them do a repo for us.

When Staples looked at a GM window sticker I took in to them in the spring of 2011 they said they could work with that and input 'other data' in place of the info that was in the various boxes on that sticker. She thought about 40 bucks.

As you stated Triple A Enterprises in the US has no interest in doing this for us. I worked on 'Bill' at Triple A all winter. No dice, not even if we supplied the templates, not interested, end of story. Same story I got over at GM Vintage Division, not interested.
