I want to correct a post I made last week concerning when 1969 production began. When updating the 1968-69 JG in 1999-2000, we learned that 1968 production went on for 13 months, August to August. It was assumed (and we all know what they does) that 1969s began in September. Terry McManmon has informed me that both models were built during August--1968s through at least Aug. 11 or 12, and '69s by at least Aug. 22. So the body build codes in the 3rd edition of 1968-69 JG are correct. The end-of-month figures were probably not listed for August because there were so few.
Therefore, the bogus L88 on ebay did list a correct VIN for the build date.
