Not such a great experience dealing with NCM. Originally, before I posted here, I called NCM to see if I can purchase the owners manual, with the pen, air gauge and notepad, as well as the DVC and VHS that says Z06 version. I was told that the kit didn't have the special Anniversary Z06 pen and pad with gold trim and tire gauge, and that it came with just a flashlight and pen in the regular silver. They also said there was no DVD or VHS in 2003 Anniversary Z06 version.

I called again, after I had posted here and ordered the DVD from them.

I called NCM again for something else, and spoke to a gentleman there. I mentioned what I was looking for and he told me that NCM did carry the entire kit with everything and transferred me to Betty.

I spoke with Betty and specified everything I needed. She told me to hold on and came back a few minute later, and told me that they had the complete kit with the Z06 version VHS, DVD, owners manual/black leather case with notepad, air gauge, and pen (pen and air gauge with gold trim for 50th Anniversary). I asked her three times "are you sure the VHS states Z06 version", and she replied "yes, I'm looking at it".

Needless to say when it arrived, everything was correct as she stated, except for the VHS, which did not state Z06 version like she said. Also, when a friend of mine got his from the NCM, it came in a box, but mine was all just shoved into a big express envelope that said "do not bend". However, on the phone she told me it came in a box.


I called her back, and spoke with her again, explaining that the VHS did not state that it was Z06 version as she claimed. She denied saying the she told me it was a Z06 version. Now, she said GM never made a Z06 version for the VHS. I told her that they did, and that I had a 2002 VHS, Z06 version. Once she realized that I knew something about this item, she changed her story around again, and said "this is all the factory gives us, and we don't get the Z06 version". I reminded her that she told me over the phone that she told me she was looking at it, and asked her if possibly they just packaged it wrong. Well, needless to say, she started to get testy, so I didn't push it. I said I would email her a picture of one that a friend emailed me of his, and I did, however, I have never heard back from her. I emailed her a few times, and have not heard anything. This whole situation urked me, because she wasn't up front with me and then hedged around it later on, which I feel is not good business. Especially, for an institution like the NCM.

Well, I wondering if anyone here knew anyone at NCM who is above her, and knows a little more about it, and may be able to help me locate this VHS. I know a friend of mine received the entire kit from NCM and it did include the Z06 version VHS.

Well congrats........ and almost there....... I too myself am looking for everything (have been for a month now)......... I never heard about trying the NCM. I do have the CD and VHS (The VHS DOES say Z06 Version, the CD doesn't though)........ I needed everything else.......... YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER FOR ME THOUGH!!! I doubt you would want a copy of the VHS, but if you do, I would be more then willing to do it for you.

Thanks so much. Let me know if they do send you the Z06 version vhs. If they do, then maybe I could by your original one. Boy, if she told me that they don't make it and then you get one, I'll know that something is not right. Either she just couldn't be bothered, or they packaged it wrong from the beginning and she just won't admit it.

Well thanks again and keep me posted.

I just called them and she says it was mailed out Friday............. So, I guess I will wait a couple of days, If I don't have it by Wednesday I will call again.

I know what you're going thru. She definitely lies and it's frustrating. I did get mine in two days, however, it was the wrong vhs and there wasn't any invoice in the package. Since I gave her my credit card going by her word that it was $55.00, I am a little worried about her charging my card for more and then claiming that she didn't state that price. She's a winner. I've emailed her about it and I'm not getting any response.

Well, needless to say, I got the same tape as you......... Once I opened it and seen that I e-mailed her, she replied this morning saying that she told me that over the phone......... hahahahahah, yeah, your right, such a liar.... Anyway, I responded again, this time not in my nice voice. I highly doubt it will do any good though.

Anyway, I guess I will go and open up mine, I want to watch it anyway then I need to figure out a way to copy it....... hahahahahah, just realized I only have 1 VCR.........lol, never even thought about that.
