A couple of things just don't look right to me on these tags. Comments from anyone please.

If it is correct, that is a VERY early production car. Production for the new model year usually started around 01 Aug..... the "M" in the VON designates something special, not sure off the top of my head.

I have 100116. Mine is one of the "Announcement" show cars.

Almost everything looks identical - option-wise...except...

I don't have A28 on my tag or N97 either..both Noise reduction..Funny it shows the chrome tips too....is that normal with an N97 car? Also the spacing looks a little funny...but maybe not. R11 is the last thing on mine on the second tag...before the VIN.

I also have A67 on mine - window louvres.

Pics of mine. Restored. I have the broadcast sheet for it as well. AB - I think it was shown at the Texas show when new.

The show cars all came with 3.23 open rears and 22" rads (with shroud - lol). No axle package. Everything you could see on these cars was put on....stuff you couldn't see was standard. They did get disc brakes though...

& the cars have SHAKERS that are NOT coded on the tags

FJ5 - what's the sequence number on your car's b'cast sheet?

partial sheet for CANADA "PROMO" BH23G1B100011

Looks like the A28 code, which is a noise reduction package, comes with max cooling, which would be a 26" rad.

Do you know why some cars come with both an A67 code and a J68 code on the same tag? I have a 71 Gran Coupe that has both codes on its tag, yours does too, but the one in question does not.

I'd bet it's a difference of 16 or a few numbers less

I was always under the impression N97 cars did not receive chrome tips or dual exhaust through the rear valance for that matter. The exhaust had turndowns just below the rear valance which did not have cut outs for the chrome tips.
However I could be sadly mistaken.

this might sound like a stupid question but...anyone got a pic of the shaker cable hole on any of these two cars-are any of these two the one that was the salt test car that roger gibson restored? the shaker hole on that car exited from a different spot on the firewall than what is the norm on 70-71 cuda`s. don`t know why it exited there as these were early 71 cars not early 70 cars.
all the best.

Mine was the other (non salt test) car that Roger did. Both were in his shop at pretty well the same time.
