PNewitt said:his is a longshot theory, but we're finding that GT/CS and the HCS cars were built in batches, based on DSO orders. So, this decklid could have been for a 71 DSO batch of cars, and/or a set of trunklids that were stacked on pallattes, with the top one marked for a specific batch, during a specific shift at the plant.
PNewitt said:I just checked my notes from my 1988 interview with Lee Grey, and he said that cars were built in specific "DSO batches". Those numbers are showing up in the new registry results, too.
J_Speegle said:But since there was no difference between a Calif Special going to 71 and ones going to 72 no reason to identify them in this way IMHO
Maybe this will put an end to that theory. Another 68 San Jose built car - non-Calif Special vehicle. There was no DSO identified by the number "10"
By being "built" you don't mean all in ordered do you. Or rather the only Calif Specials built during a period of time were for the same DSO
Just a thought
