Those duplications of options further up the sheet are generally seen on the copy 5 for Corvettes with A.O. Smith-sourced bodies.

Craig:

I'm sure you noticed the RPO code for the option is contained in the 5 digit application next to the option. ( 2nd, 3rd, and 4th digit in each one is the RPO.) Oooops. I just re read your post and saw where you were looking at the list below the options.

Tom and all,
I am referencing the 5 digit's(03396) below the last PB AM/FM RADIO option. Seems odd.

Thanks,

Just a Wild A...d Guess, but it's obviously an A.O. Smith body and I see that expected date of production is 26 June.

I postulate that the 03396 is the A-body number that would appear on the trim tag. There were 8304 coupes out of 22229 total '64 corvette production. Close to half of those were A-bodies (ie. 4152). Still about 2_1/2 weeks of body production to go in Ionia. Could double check if we knew the approx VIN, as the expected date of production is not that accurate.

Wayne that's a good guess but I don't think that's correct. I included his VIN and trim tag below. The birthday calculator shows this car built on the 25th of June but according to the order copy it was actually produced on the 24th. Take a look at the tags and see if any of it makes any sense.

Thanks,
Craig

Alright, I will take a WAG at it. It could be the 3396th. AOS body. Just for a lark, look on the bar behind the instrument cluster and see if 03396 happens to be marked there.

Like this.

I believe Wayne W. has it right -- I completely forgot about A-body production not starting until early calendar 1964, with VIN # 096xx. So the math starts from that point, meaning that the 03396 could be the TOTAL Ionia body production as of that June date.
