Jeff,

It stands for "SS 396 conversion" and is pretty common, if not universal, on 1970 SS build sheets. I'm not sure what all that entails, but I'll bet someone here does know and will chime in.

Norm, Forget to mention that they found the Buick's buildsheet with it in the same car. folded in half together. They were asking if they might have come down the line one after the other.

Bill,
Not sure on that, all of the '70 Yenko Deuce Novas have FLT on their sheets. I thought it referred to a Fleet order somehow, but not sure. I also thought that CRD was the SS indicator?

Looks like that Camino had white stripe tires on it too. Not something you see everyday.
