[Dan 68 Chevy II]

Thanks Copo,but I think your wrong.I have an 1968 Chevy II Nova ss396 375hp 4spd car that I bought from Stockon,Ca.and found the build sheet in that car and the Dealer code on the sheet is 032 with date of 7/3/68 07A.Car was bought from Chase Chevrolet in Stockton Ca.Another 1968 Chevy II Nova 307 2spd powerglide I own ,which I bought from Ct. had build sheet in it also.It read 367 Dealer code on build sheet with date of 7/18/68 07C.Car was bought at Henderson Chevrolet Stratford Ct.I have protecto plate on this one.Third is another 1968 Chevy II Nova ss 396 4spd which I bought out of Pa. I also found a build sheet in that one and the Dealer code read 327 ( Baldwin Chevrolet,verified) with date 7/3/68 07A.I have another 1968 Chevy II Nova ss 396 375 hp 4spd with dealer code ? bought from Reedmens Chevrolet Pa. 07C build date and this car I owned back in 1978 and know the 2nd owner ,which is who I bought it from, makeing me the third . We know who the original owner is. Now do you notice Dealer codes on west coast verses east coast,west had a 0 as the firsted digit on 1968 build sheets.

Dan,

The zone and dealer codes I posted for Baldwin Chevrolet are taken from an orignal window sticker of a '69 Z-28 there is no question about the correctness.

I have 100+ buildsheets and window stickers from various Chev. muscle cars. All zone codes are 2 digits and all dealer codes are 3 digits. The use of zero's as the first digit in the dealer number has nothing to do with the location of the dealership geographically.

Here are 2 eastern examples that don't fit your theory:

Benson Chevrolet
Roswell, Ga
Zone 08, Dealer 036
'70 LS-6 Chevelle Buildsheet

Joe Bokeman Chevrolet, Inc
Buffalo, NY
Zone 12, dealer 049
'70 LS-6 Chevelle buildsheet

Here's a western one that doesn't fit your theory.

Smoak Chevrolet
Farmington, NM
Zone 10, dealer 775
'70 LS-6 Chevelle buildsheet

I could go on, but it should be clear.

fyi, Reedman Chevrolet in Langhorne, PA is zone 15, dealer 546.

I noticed all these cars were 1970's, do you have Dealer codes on 67s and 68s since in the earlier years ,there wasn't as many dearlerships . Do you know when these dealerships received their dealer codes,codes might not be in sequence as they added new dealerships throughout the USA in later years.Take note ,Courtesy Chevrolet Phoenix Az. 087 It's been there forever. Anyway I have what I need and doc's to prove. Thanks Dan

I have to agree with "COPO"....I just looked at the build sheet for this Baldwin Motion I'm Restoring, and it's very clear Zone 27, Dealer 019.......Just wanted to clear any mis understandings......Mike
