The shipping data can't be that far off; Norwood had to queue finished cars away from the plant and space was tight. The cars were invoiced by GMAC the instant they left the plant. We have 200 dealer invoices for 1969 Camaros from one dealership. There is also a gap in shipping data:

N625818 shipped 4/3/69
N626468 shipped 4/14/69
N626665 shipped 4/15/69

The average build-to-ship queue 1/1/69 - 11/10/69 is 2.03 days. Not unusual to ship same day or next.

If you're dying to know, I have 15 complete VINs in the gap that are known to exist. Pick one in the middle and get NCRS for it.
I get it. We routinely fall into the trap of overthinking things. That is a habit I had to force myself to break. The reality is that things are often simple if you factor in the human element.
