Not my intention to nag, that is a common misconception. The trim tag bears the date the production order was released by Fisher body. It is only a general indicator of the cars' final assembly date as Fisher did not always observe A-B-C-D-E coding. For February '69, they did not use C or E; 02D spanned 22 calendar days. ZL-1s #3 - #39 have 02D tags; none of them were built in February.
If your Yenko is one of the 02D cars [N613xxx] with a BE0305 axle, it was probably final-assembled March 13, 1969. That's plenty of time for the 260 mile trip from the axle plant in Detroit to Norwood, OH. |
