Appears to be missing the order number also. I'm oddly obsessed with those ....

Been studying those for decades. One can roughly determine when a dealer order was confirmed [not placed] based on the number but that's about it. This car was probably confirmed on or about Feb 20th; built 22 days later. There are too many variables-stock/sold order, dealer allocations, equipment availability, etc. to draw any conclusions.

In addition, by the end of July '69, Chevy had built 200,282 Camaros but issued over 277,000 confirmations. Dealers routinely ordered in excess of their allocations; far more cars than the plants could build. Considering all the data we have, there are 5 gaps of 2,000-3,000 body numbers. Appears that about 3,000 orders were cancelled in the June-July period.
