1967 Camaro Pace Car

[70 copo]

Festival,

The fleet codes were important years ago as some people were trying establish pace car ID by "fleet code" as one of the primary method (s) of early identification. This was prior to the release of the real method(s) of Identification which included the now famous stripe delete - (dash) (which sometimes) was followed by a fleet code.

Owners who suspected they had a pace car were encouraged by the now defunct USCC and others keeping registry to make contact and register the specific car's information. Later as the respective total number of 0-1 and C-1 cars became known, the risk of being able to pull off a Pace Car fake was greatly reduced. The approximate build dates, sequences, and vin # then became known which protects the identity of real cars that are out there. As it is today the known use of the fleet code is much more consistant on the C-1 LOS cars as L-181A.

70 COPO..Thanks. I understand but in terms of a basic explanation of the fleet codes in general..Was it a code for when GM would built multiple same optioned cars/trucks? and if so then why would my car not have one being such an " in the thick of it" o4A festival car? And why would so many LA non pacecar cars have these codes at all? Did dealers out that way save money by ordering multiples of the exact same car for themselves?

Thomas,
You need to look at that little box on the forms closer.
It says F&SO. Fleet and Special Order.

One shot is all I have and i hope it can be read

Kurt..Fleet or Special Order..either or, the question I was trying to pose was why my car doesn't have one at all? As an O-1 tag car I would have thought that a Fleet/Special Order code would be assumed? Am I making sense with this?
