1982 Pontiac Firebird Car Distribution Bulletins

Does anyone know where I can get the 1982 Firebird Car Distribution Bulletins?

For those who don’t know, these where sent to Pontiac dealers to keep them up-to-date about production changes, this was before email and computers.

I have 82-F-1 and 82-F-2, what was the last number for 1982. 82-F-?

I would like to get some originals but I would take scans or even just the text. I’ve also been keeping my eye on ebay but no luck yet. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Hmmm, the 82 and 83 bulletins you have, are they originals, or at least good-quality reproductions?

Re: 1982 Pontiac Firebird Car Distribution Bulletins

They're bulletins sent out by Pontiac to its dealer informing them mostly of running production changes or updates to the order process that occurred throughout the model year. Since most were simply tossed aside, they can be very difficult to locate. They are, however, an invaluable resource to researchers.

They are original, I just have limited hosting space so my scans are not that good.
