Ok this got started here back on page 1 In reply to William:

Assuming the VIN corresponds to 05-C then current data based production assumptions may need a second look.

I was acting on the assumption that William may be on to something I replied to him in quotation and for what ever reason he did not reply to me directly.
So in order to further the discussion I called one of the guys I interviewed for the book and asked him for an opinion as to what could be afoot here with this specific car. He was completely consistent in telling me again what occurred for the purposes of production scheduling with respect the the nature of this thread, which is an 05-C Z-11 and opinions as to how and why this car was built with the body plate "as is".
He offered his opinion which I posted. You replied somewhat contesting the some of the factual content of what I posted concerning the phone call:

I replied twice to you in order to adequately service your reply to me. If we are in the weeds here I do regret my inability to boil down technical concepts. Please let me know if any additional information is needed and I will be happy to assist the forum in understanding how this car was very likely built back in 1969.
