Many years ago (mid-1980s, I think), I parted out an early 1970 T/A. I don't remember what the cowl panel data plate showed.
It was an oddity. It had the pot metal tail panel, the trunk pan had small round drain plugs in addition to the oval ones, and the WS block did not have the VIN stamped into it. Cast dates were late 1969. I ran the VIN and got the build sheet, this was back before PHS and Pontiac would send them to you for free. I also rememeber the PHS showing a 3 - 4 month difference between when it was built and when it shipped.
I have seen odd things before on a PHS. I found a rough 1969 GTO that the build sheet showed it was delivered to Pontiac engineering. The build sheet for this T/A didn't show anything to indicate where it might have been for those months. It was a 4-spd a/c car.
