8/02/64 was the last date shown for '64.
August 2nd was a Sunday, so the last full week of production would be the last week of July (07E, I presume on the cowl tag). These are from Gunnell's Standard book of Pontiac. It doesn't say what plant so I assume these are specific to the home plant in Pontiac, Michigan. K

Thanks Keith
Have seen you reference some of that data before. This is a 65 , so Aug 19 In regards to that , 07C is the latest 65 GTO build week I have seen so far. Has anyone seen a build week on a 65 GTO beyond that ? |

Geez - screwed that up.
Yes - '65 GTO and '65 model year. 8/19/65 would be the last day. I only have a few cowl tags in my collection but an "08B" popped right up. It has a high body number which would indicate August of '65. K

Does anyone know what the highlighted numbers on the cowl tag mean?

I think that is the body carrier # that moves it to the line to get married with the frame.

Mostly that number is referred to as the body buck/jig fixture that's used at Fisher. I have taken that to mean it was used as they framed up a body as it was built from single pieces of sheet metal into a complete shell / hull . Seymore might have more insight |

The cart through trim up until body drop was simply a carrier that the completed body rode on (no fixturing). The specific fixture was noted as an aid in problem resolution. If there was a build problem that could be tracked back to a specific fixture then that could help solve the problem. K

Car arrived yesterday… safe and sound. Thanks to everyone who took some time to give me some feedback on the car. The information was invaluable.

Gorgeous. It looks so much like the first GTO I was ever exposed to except the color was the standard gold.
