Just polled a few owners of 63 Chevy II's built in Oakland. Seems they all had 4 digit numbers at the end of the ACC line, and all different. One owner said the dealer had the number from his car as the stock# on the sales agreement. It also seems transmission code M35 was the only actual RPO code they used on the cowl tag. All the rest are single letter codes. It may be of interest that Canadian built Chevy II's had the actual RPO codes on the cowl tag, sometimes including the engine. The ACC line on my L79 read M20L79A81. The A81 was the rare, bucket seat headrest option.

My 63 Nova SS convertible also has factory a/c. It was built in Willow Run and doesn't have the a/c noted on the cowl tag, either. For whatever reason, you seldom see any factory a/c Chevy II's with the option noted on the cowl tag.

what exactly are these docs?

engine production numbers?

[Verne_Frantz]

Just read the first 6 lines of each page. It's perfectly clear what they are.

[wagonman]

can i edit the previous persons post....?

wagonman,yes these are engine production numbers as described..


oh ok then..

this really does'nt seem to be strong evidence that it ever made production in a vehicle.

these seem to be only engine production numbers not vehicle production...perhaps they were ordered for a dealer for a dealer install.perhaps bill thomas had something to do with this....

dealer installs did happen in late 62 early 63

[JChlupsa]

I would say they were made. Do you have totals of the other engines for 63 Chevy IIs and do they match the paperwork above? If they did I would say the 3 would be reconized as just what the the bottom of the page (2) states, Any Chevy IIs being assembled. Stranger things have happend such as only 1 68 Z28 Convertable

[Verne_Frantz]

The totals listed above are indeed for production vehicle installations. An example would be the 21,513 327 engines installed in Corvettes. That happens to be the total production of '63 Corvettes. Flint and Tonawanda engine production exceeds all the totals above by quite a bit.
