Thanks Kurt,let me know what you find.
My Dealer was R&S Chevrolet in Joplin Mo. Kansas leeds Plant started assembly 10/24/69,and truck off loaded at the dealership 10/30/69.Shes 35 this week. ![]() You too Cjoe,as I am LMAO over here. ![]() Lights on till 3AM....I know that feeling! I talked to Ed Schoenthaller,(MR.ED),and he said that these labels were placed on Vehicles to inform the sales people NOT to sell them yet.They had to have a Monroney label affixed first.That could mean ANYTHING from a special ordered Zone rep. unit,to a Courtesy car,etc. |

The top sticker I've never seen, but i bet if you go to a local dealer tomorrow and watch them unload new cars off the transporter, some will have that second sticker on them...if it was indeed in your 70 Chevelle originally, they've used that same sticker for over 30 years.

I build trucks for GM, so I know a little about your sticker. GM, and everybody else, launches new models in "buckets" or batches of "builds". Most are what is known as nonsaleable pilot vehicles. The early bucket builds are what they cut their teeth on. These units are not customer quality vehicles. These are used to improve build processes and solve fit problems, etc. The sticker is simply used to identify the nonsaleable pilot build units from saleable units. They don't want to sell a substandard quality unit. However, as the launch date gets closer, the quality of the pilot builds gets much better, and some are chosen to be sold to the public. |

Another option is that is was produced before they had finished EPA testing, therefore it wasn't a saleable unit yet.
Do you know the selling dealer for your car?
