Re: 1970 Goat Question
Doesn't sound right. I've been building GM cars in assembly plants for 34 years and have never seen that before, not on a modern vehicle or a vintage (collector) car.
The last six digits should be numbers and will correspond to the build sequence.
Sounds like the "B" is some kind of part code and just happened to be in the vicinity of the VIN making it look like suffix. It may have mistakenly been added to the title and the error has just been carried on.
Where are you seeing it? On the title? body VIN? frame, or engine? Do those all match? Can you post a pic? (with the other digits blocked out, of course).
You might also try posting on PerformanceYears.com and see if this is some kind of anomoly specific to Baltimore built GTOs; my historical expertise is more focused on '63-'65 Pontiac Michigan built cars so I'm willing to stand corrected if someone else has more specifics on this.
