Norwood only made Camaros, and not much hope for finding a buildsheet.
Chevelle COPOs had a build sheet, as did the Novas.
God is in the details, as the Irish like to say.

The COPO's were built in batches. Vin's were assigned as the orders came in. The body #'s were designated as they were put in order to be built. If you notice, most body's #'s to a certain dealer or area are sequential. When they got to the end of the line, there would be a batch ready to go to the certain dealer or zone, so they did not get a back log of cars waiting to go to all different parts of the country.

Pete,
That's backwards. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif Body #'s were assigned when the order was accepted into the system. VIN was assigned when the body was produced (right as it left the Fisher body side).
COPOs were built when the parts were available. When & which cars were built was the job of the scheduler at the plant.
Norwood had no space, they built the cars and then they shipped them. There were always shipments going out to different areas of the country, I don't think that figured much into the scheduling.
