Any oppinions on this build sheet??

[COPO 70 RS/Z28]

The car is very nice, and I'm sure for the most part it is a solid 70 Z, It appears that, if I understand the numbers correctly, this car was built the same day as mine. The 3 (three) 9796 builds I have seen, 2 other cars and mine ALL have hand written notes (for lack of a better term) on them giving directions, ALL notes closely resemble on another, and it could even be speculated that they are close enough where they were all written by the same person. The ebay cars sheet is different.

As far a the Z28 thing goes it is a nice car, just this one thing really bugs me.

Thanks

Thanks for the offer Mark, I'll surely let you know if I move forward with it.

No problem, gives me an excuse to go check it out!

I think you are correct on a single person assigned to adding specifc documentaion on the sheets. I have have a few baltimore one's from 69-71, and all the notations were done by the same person based on writing style no question.

Purely speculation, but I think this car might have been one of if not the first VN car built with the COPO spolier(05E). It has the Option circled,as to bring attention to the line workers maybe for bolt hole location?. My Bal pilot LS6 has the RPO circled, and hand written below the RPO codes and also circled was "Pilot job 454 c.i." and to the left of that" it'll need wings"

just an observation but the circle on the Build sheet is not smooth... like it was very intentional... most of the time when in a production setting this type of care is not taken... the circle would be smooth and probably have overlapping or non touching start and finish points... IMHO

My car is 70 cars earlier by vin

That the issue here, my car as well as the others does not have the TYPED wording "rear compt lid extension unit" the only code shown is the 9796AA which has been circled by hand and then hand written descriptions in LARGE hand written letters. I guess it wouldn't bug me if the car was a later car but it is in-between my car and the other examples which match each other. I would be curious of your opinion if you do look at it.

I will be the first to admit that I am not an expert on how build sheets were generated but I am concerned that for some reason this one is different, It would be easier for me to understand if the whole code and description were hand written (like some sort of last minute thing) but to go the other way seems odd.

The circles and notes on mine and the other like sheets are written large and like someone wrote them quickly. They are very clear and readable but like you said the penmanship shows, for lack of a better term, haste.

That looks like a floorpan sheet- is it possible the person who pulled it put their own circle?
