Well...it does for the body shop. That's why it exists. I will agree the body shop numbers are only somewhat indirectly linked to final line (general assembly) production and scheduling.
I also agree about Firebird mixing in with Camaro starting in April of 1969, but didn't want to confuse the issue. I wasn't sure if they got their own body sequence number, which would have been directionally incorrect in terms of my calculations above (for example, in the Pontiac Michigan assembly plant there were different body sequences for big car, A body hardtop/coupe and A body convertible - all "Pontiac" nameplated vehicles).
