Sorry I don't have the decoder ring
Only Kevin does at this point.
"I contacted Dave Mathews yesterday. He could not add much information other than to say "the 2608 is the build DSO"......"
Just terms, but the whole number ( six digits) would be the Build DSO and the four digits the order number. Again just terms
"I have a copy of a Vehicle Specification sheet from 1/7/1967 for 229 GT 500s in various colors. It was found in 01542 (or maybe 01572 or 1592; the writing is not clear)."
Have a copy of the same.
" The sheet from a car four numbers from mine (03037) was for a similar quantity...."
So (if I understand what you are stating) 3037 was from another order just prior to your build group. So maybe 982603-982607? Since 982602 was a group of thirteen cars. Group of GT500 auto w/AC cars I think.
Haven't heard or seen of one in that period. Please remember that other cars were being ordered across the country using the Transportation DSO so most of these orders were for trucks and the like.
Always fun stuff to discuss
