The number identified the car build even before the VIN was assigned. Because of material shortages or constraints the numbers are not sequential with the vin, they were released according to availability of material and build positioning they are not sequential and can very by a significant amount. </div></div>

It's also on BBC and window sticker.

Thank you; noted.
For comparison's sake: mid 60's Pontiacs were not that way (hence my confusion). In the Pontiac plant(s) the body number was an actual build sequence number. The numbers were sequential through the body shop but then shuffled out of the body bank based on material availability and/or workload leveling before dropping into general assembly.
Thanks again for the clarification.
