Eighth through Thirteenth Numbers - Sequential plant numbers
The sequential starting number for each assembly plant started with
100001.Each assembly plant sequenced all Chevelles regardless of
series or body style. While multiple plants will have the same
sequence numbers, it would be relatively rare for two of the same
series to have identical sequence numbers. The difference in the
VINs would, naturally, be the assembly plant code. Production at the
Kansas City plant topped 100,000 units sometime in mid-June so the
VIN sequence for late Kansas City-built Chevelles would be in the
2nnnnn range. Production at the Baltimore plant topped 100,000 units
in early June so the VIN sequence for mid-June and later Baltimore
Chevelles built would be in the 2nnnnnn range.
