Chevy Restoration Pack

Hi,
I just got my hands on a 1950 3100 in pretty good shape. I called Chevy about getting the "Restoration Pack" and learned that it's no longer free. Now it costs $50. I've never ordered one before so I don't know if the contents are worth $50.
Anyone get one before? Recommend it or advise against paying $50?  

Here is what GM's site http://www.gm.ca/gm/english/shopping/parts/vintage#top says the package includes. Hope this info helps you out.

" Our vintage vehicle package provides the option content of your vehicle. Information includes:

   * original paint colour and interior trim colour
   * production/shipping dates
   * quantity of same model produced for sale in Canada
   * original engine number through late 1960's (if available)
   * original selling Dealer and location (if available)

This information is combined with Engineering Specifications for your specific year and vehicle line to provide a comprehensive package of production information for each car or truck.

Option details are available from 1964 to the present for most vehicle lines. Available information from 1946 to 1964 is limited to:

   * colour
   * trim
   * production/shipping dates
   * engine number
   * quantities produced for sale in Canada
   * selling Dealer (after approx. 1957)

Only production numbers are available prior to 1946 (sorry, nothing from 1939 to 1945), except for Chevrolet where Engineering Specifications are also available.

We can help identify engine numbers, and offer assistance in locating the parts you need to restore your GM car or truck to its original form. An original equipment car is much more valuable than a clone."  

Unfortunately, the vintage research is only for GM Canada.  I was told there is no similar service available for vehicles manufactured and sold in the U.S.  Bummer.

Lame. Maybe this is why GM is in so much financial trouble.
