Re: "Hog Wild" '69 Z-28 Super Stock Car.
Phil has the proper VIN and the hiddens have been confirmed. The body tag date is 03A without question. Phil and I have discussed the 04-14 release date vs the 1st week March Fisher date and as always he went the extra mile and found out how it was within reason. If you look at a '69 calendar, 03A is actually the 3rd through the 7th. 04-14 is a Monday and since that is the "Ship" date and not a true production date, the car would have been built the previous week ( 7th thru the 11th ). So that narrows the gap just a bit. To my understanding the Fisher tag dates were generated when the order was accepted, not necessarily when scheduled to be built. If a major component wasn't available, it was set aside until it was and in this case that may have been whatever color paint was not available at that moment. Anyway, Phil knows far more than I ever will, so I'll give him the floor.
