Re: L89 Resto!!
This might sound ridiculous but here it goes.....is there any chance that some unexplained numbers/letters could be an employees initials or ID number? I got to thinking about this at work today because we all carry stamps for our paperwork and many of the parts we work on have stamps/initials on them. Just a thought. Go Sox

Re: L89 Resto!!
Not very strange at all! There are reports from line workers who claim to have written cryptic notes on specific areas of the cars to their buddies down the line.
I have some initials on my block as well, JH was very clear on the one side of my block, also written in Yellow except right-side-up. So, it's very possible that the codes don't really indicate anything about the car itself.

Re: L89 Resto!!
Speaking of line workers writing stuff on cars, I went through the Van Nuys plant a couple of times and on one of my trips ('92 I believe) there was a message painted on the side of a car which said "Lunch at Sizzler, Psycho buys". Obviously this was before the body color went on.
My thought on the V37 is it could be "437" which could correlate to the build sequence or it might be "V32" for rear bumper guards. Does your car have the rear guards? -Jon 1967 Z28 original survivor 1967 Z28 Trans Am race car 1967 Z28 Registry

"Lunch at Sizzler, Psycho buys". [/ QUOTE ] Classic!  Even funnier might be "This car was built on Monday"

Re: L89 Resto!!
Exactly! The story I was referring to was a message from one line worker to another regarding where to meet at breaktime!

Re: L89 Resto!!
Hi Jon, I think the 37 code is a 437, Not written well but didn't need to be.. No bumper guards on the car.. The information and knowledge on this board is impossible to put a price on!!!

Re: L89 Resto!!
An old friend of mine worked at Dworin Chevrolet in East Hartford, CT. He was a young phenom when it came to drivability problems and he was given a new Corvette that the owner complained made a clunking noise when cornering. After many test drives he located the problem. A Coke bottle was left in the driver's side door. The note inside the bottle read "congratulations a$$hole-you found the noise.
