No it is NOT the 38th A body Convertible. It is the 38th GTO convertible. There would have been a 24267 BT00038 (GTO Conv), a 23567 BT00038 (Tempest Conv) and a 23767 (Lemans Conv), Also a 24237 BT0038 (GTO Hrt), a 23537 BT00038 (Tempest Hrt), 23737 BT00038 (Lemans HRT) etc, etc. All body styles produced at that plant would have had a BT00038, since I'm sure there were more than 38 of each style produced. Some styles like wagons or other low production models may only have a body number of 600 or so by the end of production!

Also I didn't bring up about the six cyl VIN's .... 600001, just figured that would confuse the situation, for now! Scott
