HI steve, Have you ever looked I didnt think non X codes car were behind the seat until I looked at one the other day. I think I will pull the back seat out of my Los built car today and look. My Los car is a original Hugger Orange RS SS black standard interior supposedly L78 auto tach gauge. It now has A ZL1 with a doug Nash 5 spd and black deluxe int.

Sure it can be documented. The last VIN from LA is 9L531163 assembled in July of 69 with an 05A cowl tag. Norwood passes VIN 531163 in about 2 days into November of 68. (Last October VIN per GM's official list is 530337, but this is the car that actually rolled of the line at 12 midnight on 10/31/68 (Still had another 2 days of 10D cars on the line at that instant) so 9N531163 would carry a 10D cowl tag. Last Norwood VIN is 9N711922 in November of 69
VIN List - select VIN Table on left side of page 69 body numbers are seqential by date (they are actually the dealer order number assigned once the order was accepted by GM). They were not necessarily built in the order they were received in due to the need to schedule parts. There are gaps in them as orders were canceled but body 111000 could have been built in LA, and 111001 could have been built in Norwood. |

Good info! Thanks for taking the time to research it. I noticed the source as the old USCC.
I miss the technical features that they offered. Phil ![]() |

Most of the VIN info (re the #'ing at the different plants)is posted on the CRG site.
The end of the month #'s are actually via GM production records, USCC just published them. They are a good reference point, but there are several issues with those #'s, so don't rely on them too much. The ordering info was published by GM in an explanation on how the ordering system worked. It is different from 67-8. The car being discussed is a hodge-podge of parts.....

Kurt,
Thanks. I knew the USCC info was a little loose also. it is too bad that whoever put the car together did not do a better job finding the best parts when the car was re built. Still a nice looking car, I love the Orange with the white stripes. Good car to drive. Phil ![]() |
