MikeA,
The default for all the 1st gen trim tags is a V8 style code. Your 72 has a V8 style code. You'd need to find a L6 style code to show that the Nova is different. I don't think you'll find one..... Joe, Had to get a V8 to option in the dual exhaust. Fisher body didn't indicate that option on the trim tag either, they handled some other way. Yes, the sequence # or rotation # is how they tracked the cars. The body # was used by Fisher (remember the bodies were dunked to etch them and prep for paint so you couldn't use paper). Chev used the sequence # basically to keep the cars in order, since the VINs jump around. They still do it the same way today. The broadcast sheets were attached to the ends and sides of the car and taken off at different points in the line. Also still used today the same way. The accepted orders (body #'s) were not scheduled in a very defined way. Scheduling is still an art. ![]()
