Default Re: Seeking info on Export 69 R/S Z/28

I haven't seen very many Chevrolet Exported vehicles,but of the few I have seen,they all had the RPO code ZP-8 listed on their buildsheets.
Officially,ZP-8 was The Manufacturers Statement of Origin code when selling a NEW vehicle from the United States to a Foreign Country,or when transferring said vehicle to an Individual IN a Foreign Country.It was the Manufacturers designation of making it void of any duty taxes.

I have noticed that cars sent from Canada to Sweden had the W89, X14 and X17 options.

Export cars came from Norwood, not LA. Probably brought over by one of the owners prior to you.

Possibly someone in the military transferred to Europe from the states?

Thanks for the input guys!! The Military route is what I always figured but you never know (they get cars shipped for free). That's why I was hoping Broadcast codes might be some sort of an indicator.
I'll post this message on the CRG website and see what those guys can dig up.......
Thanks again, Charlie

1st guy: Do they call him Wiz because he is a wizard with electonics?

2nd guy: No, he has a bladder problem.
