So lets focus a bit.. on page 125 of Echoes. There Delong Jones is quoted as having a bit more of a skeptical view of the start of Firebird production. As I see it there are two issues combining here creating confusion.
The conclusion was reached that Norwood suspended Camaro production and produced only Firebirds.
This conclusion is in error because as stated in Echoes and also the independent historical record states that the plant was physically closed for the entire week in question which I believe gave rise to the assertion that the plant shifted to Firebird only production.
Here Kurt is correct (later in the CRG thread) where he offers an opinion as to the build date start.
I will not waste anybody's time posting an excerpt from my book because that will be labeled as "my opinion".
The independent historical record however will clear things up to almost everyone's satisfaction.
