00576, 72 Fremont 350 car. The body tag also has a sideways 3 stamped in the area above the body #, if that means anything o No: You can see it in the pic. Thanks
Sure Low number because Fremont did NOT build that many GS's. On the GS model, they also started at 00001 making the the 576th GS in 72 from that PLANT only. Look at the build date on the Fischer tag, probably a Feb or March car, 6 months after the production year began in August. :bglasses:
That's odd I didn't see that picture before (some strange delay?). Has a 2nd week of March build date. Not too early, more like mid production year. :TU: Plus, I said GS model above when it should be "A" body (GS & Larks I believe started at 00001). :TU:
And.... The 3 looks stamped, not embossed as the plate, so I assume someone did that after it left the Fischer line. So it either happened at Buick final assembly or by somebody else after it left the factory. o No:
Thanks Dan. I went back and added the pic after I posted, so your not losing your mind p The 3 is stamped, I figured it didn't mean anything, but you never know. How many GS's came out of Fremont?
Ask Marco They have that info, because that is HOW we found out they made 71 & 72 stage 1's in both Fremont and Framingham plants. The "Daily Reports"... :Smarty: I wouldn'd be so sure the "3" means nothing..... That said, we will probably never know what or why it was hit there. :laugh: There are similar numbers like that all over the deck of my block hidden from the head gasket(usually only ONE near each cylinder). They did it for a reason. :Smarty: My little theory is they used it to trace which employee(s) actually assembled the engine. o No:
