Team Chevelle topic /early built Z15 Chevelle SS

[70hotrod]

Hello,
This is posted in the Tag Team section of(chevelles.com) website.
We would love to hear from you,(yenko.net)users,if you have any information on early built Z15/SS454 Chevelles from each of the chevelle mfg. plants during the 1970 model year...
As most of you know,it appears that early Dec.1969 is when
these cars production started,after production was cancelled on the L78 Chevelle in late Nov./or/early Dec.1969.
If you have any info on early built LS6/LS5 Chevelles, you can help,please feel free to add your info.... Thanks,Don

So far.....Tuesday,Dec.9,1969 is 1st..... Thursday,Dec.11 is the 2nd earliest...
1970 Z15 Chevelles SS built......

It appears with the cancellation of the L78 on Dec.8,1969 at Baltimore...
The Z15/LS6 was taking it's place immediately, so far, all info shows that, LS6's were coming out the factory doors, first...before the LS5's especially at the 4 biggest Chevelle factories..
It appears the other 3 factories,did not start production until after Jan.1,1970....

I did find, another interesting fact...
The 1st Z15 Chevelle SS convertible,that I know of, was built 12/17/1969...

If anybody wants to add any info,to the above findings,feel free to do so,
just post the trim tag and or buildsheet dates/ and if it's a LS5/or/ LS6 only...

Thanks to all who posted,we are getting closer to finding the earliest from
each factory..I really thought, there would be more cars found that were
built (12B) before Friday Dec.12,1969....Maybe, even some LS5's..
The reason I say that is because, apparently all factories except Baltimore
had ceased production on L78 Chevelles, several days before 12/8/69....
It just made sense these factories were tooling up for the Z15's release, when the final L78 went out the Baltimore factory door....and that all these other plants would have been in high gear, getting ready to build the newly released Z15 Chevelle SS 454.....but..It looks like Baltimore, was the one in high gear............ Thanks, Don..
