Default Anybody Know?

Anyone know if Vette Doctors keeps records by VIN # for the jobs they do on Corvettes?
I'm looking at one that's supposed to have been modified there (heads and cam) but the owner has no records.
He's the 3rd owner so they could have been lost along the way.

If they keep records I'll call them with the VIN.

Thanks guys.

I called and asked them. THey said if it the work was done just a few months back they could tell. But this was done a few years back.
Too back someone along the way lost the paperwork.

Look at the castings on the heads and see if they are stock or not. Hell a heads and cam car will drive significiently different then a stock Vette.

Can you just bring the car to Vette Drs and have them take a look?
