protecto plate help

[69Tom]

Hi guys. This is the protecto-plate for my 1969 Nova. Purchased 2/25/69 from Gibson Chevrolet.



Reads:

1st line is the VIN with a B after it.
2nd line: F0110BB BP0116G 1
3rd line: C9A09 3

And thank god I have the instructions on how to use the "new" ignition system. Not sure what I would have done. ha!




Thanks for the help.

Sorry, guess I'm wondering what the option codes are as well.

the best you can get is from the trim tag and that will only indicate paint codes, interior trim, and seat type. Have looked for a buried build sheet?

That really was the &quot;New&quot; ignition system in 69. Those instructions were probably much needed for all the little old ladies that owned all these hotrods back then.... Not really an issue for the Automatic cars but that whole locking transmission thing was probably confusing for some on day 1... Neat stuff.

I didn't know what all those numbers meant though, Impressive decoding work for a New Yorker [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
