I read today that they built 77 hardtops and 66 convertibles with this engine/trans combo.

Was reading an article in CRG and stumbled upon the GMODC explanation. GM Overseas Distribution Corporation. Seems the car was built for export. Interesting, if was it was exported and then brought back. Service member in a foreign country order it ? Could explain the severe rust for where it is located now. OR, it never did leave the country/CA and was a coastal car.

My body/painter friend always says "if only they could talk"...
This car really intrigues me, but the price, distance and my age prevent any further interest. As my username says, I already have "too many projects"...

Thanks for the info, Mitch! Agree that it’s pretty far gone but I’d be all over it if it could be bought for half the asking price.

Other known export cars that I've seen usually show "export prep" on the build sheet or build order, I'm not seeing that. Looks like this car was possibly shipped to San Francisco?

Could GMOCD also mean it was ordered by someone overseas but not intended to go there?
