I still go back to the 59-64 Chevrolet tags...In the CBTN book it states that this tag was also used till 66 in Chevrolets produced in a BOP plant..( I'm not sure what that means exactly...but I think it is relevent) These bodys were marked for a reason. How many orders did Don make in 68? I'm thinking a batch order again. Why would Fisher need this tag? The 140 speedo? Wrong. They didn't install it, Chevrolet did. So, Don orders the cars...body numbers assigned at Fisher..sent thru to Chevrolet..They have to assemble the 140 speedo in a sea of 120's.....along with the 9737 stuff. This batch was run and tagged together to identify a "difference"...Has anyone seen a 68 Yenko Broadcast sheet? Was the tag used to identify the necessary items needed by Chevrolet? The ACC on the tag leads me to belive it. They used some form of it on the 67 tags for accessory codes. Why not use it again for variations on the 68 stuff? Hence the Magic Mirror tag with ACC.. Does anyone have body numbers for the 68 Yenkos? The 07E cars seem to all be pretty close....

Fwiw..this is all just a theroy...
