Kurt,
Any chance someone was at the end of the line (who may have been employed by Fisher Body, or even a plant worker) checking that cars were built like they should have been in reference to the trim tags. With no computers then, humans would need to check for these things. My '67 Pace Car has the white paint on the tag. It is also like Charlies in that it has a 4P code but is a documented 375HP car. Weird stuff happened to those cars and some of it happened for a reason. Why do some of the Festival and Dealer Pace Cars have the 050A, 060A, 061A, and 070A fleet codes and why do some of them not, and why did those codes end up in the 4th or 5th group if they were part of the Pace Car RPO option code. I have a friend that has a '67 Pace car, C-1, with a 061A in the 5th group and her body broadcast sheet has at the bottom . . . FN061A Pace Car Option.
I guess if one of the 070A owners had their broadcast copy it might say FN070A Pace Car Option. Why different fleet codes? I have always found these cars to be fascinating because of the challenging facts that should be simple to find out, but aren't. One day, I will be able to sleep at night when these codes are figured out. Someone has to know what these mean, it shouldn't be that difficult. The more we talk about these items together, the better chance we have of figuring them out.
Thanks for your input and Keep It Coming . . .
