THE LAST??? 1967 Z-28

[William]

The key is the body tag meant nothing to Chevrolet; they did not refer to it and assembled cars via body and chassis broadcast sheets. They did have to share scheduling info however and Chevy likely dictated when a certain dealer order was built. Due to the July 4 holiday Fisher probably released all the orders it had [generating the body tags] but started them per the Chevy schedule. Chevrolet assigned VINs in order as bodies were received from Fisher. Cars built later than either of the two in this discussion have 07B tags.

whhhattt?????

William and Yedder,

Correcr me if I'm wrong because I'm a little brain dead...

I have to assume that the cars got VIN'd in numerical order coming down the line...and at some point my car got taken off the line and other cars with later VINs passed by and got the cowl tag in 07B week. And that my car was held for a while for whatever reason until the following week when the cowl tag was made for the car...is this true??? And if so, why?? I guess it could have been anything...any missing part or paint..or???

So, the bottom line....are there any other known 67 Z's with an 07C cowl date??

Maybe only the GM Gods know this one!!! heheh

BTW....I am probably the most curious about if the car sells or not...and how much!!

Thanks Guys!!!

This article from CRG should answer all your questions about VIN assingment.

Your body may well have been a later produced Fisher Body... but was into Chevrolet Assembly earlier... what this means is that the other cars with the earlier Fisher cowl tags but later Chevrolet vins were the cars that were held up...

"And that my car was held for a while for whatever reason until the following week when the cowl tag was made for the car...is this true???"

Therein lies the problem. The body tag was the first part made to a specific dealer order, installed on the cowl by Fisher body. Chevy never touched it.

Your car wasn't held up at all. The Z/28 with the earlier tag date but later VIN was.

Precisely how I saw it William... the 07B's were the held up cars as they arrived at Chevrolet later than his 07C car...

[William]

Exactly.

It is possible that the last 1967 Camaro built at Norwood had an 07B tag.

Is this your opinion, research, or is this from the CRG's technical article? Where did you get your information?

Again, from my previous post:

"Please detail your opinion on the '67 Build sequence at Fisher, the lines that staged the bodys built immediatly on the Chevrolet side and why they were arranged in that manner, and finally the VIN assignment and the build sequence lock for final production".



Thanks

John Z did not get to Norwood until well after '67 Production ended.
