Marlin,
I am sorry that I wasn't specific... I was not referring to Nova's at all, I have no idea how they were sequenced built etc. I was referring to the past comments about Camaro's and how body numbers were assigned and how the bodies were not released to be produced until the parts were available, which is why the body numbers are much lower that the "normal" cars built during the same week as the COPO's. I have the cowl tag numbers from a Z28 03D car and it has a body number that is 30,000 units higher that the COPO built the same week. What that tells me is that the order for the COPO was accepted about 2-1/2 months before hand. What do you guys think?

I was using the Novas as an example to show the time span between ordering a batch of copo cars and GM actually building them!
As I said previously, referencing the body number to a build week is not a reliable comparison. In one of the prior examples, a later build week of cars received earlier body numbers, and vice-versa!
