The primary documentation on VIN 242379G125205 including the surviving broadcast sheet showing the official factory assignment date of January 9, 1969 (99 01-09), body sequence ZGA453185, the original dealer order confirming pilot batch 00017 with dealer code 29-991, the 01B cowl tag, and full PHS verification was first introduced and discussed in this forum in 2015.
Attached is a screenshot of that original thread where the registry operator posted the same documents and asked the community for help determining whether this car could be the first Judge built. In the years since, no one has produced direct physical or documentary evidence (PHS report, surviving broadcast sheet, dealer invoice, or allocation records) that disputes the January 9, 1969 assignment date, the body sequence, or this cars status as the lead unit of the documented 5-car corporate pilot batch 00017.
Both sides should stick to what the documented evidence actually shows rather than speculation about unknown cars or unverified VIN ranges. After more than 11 years of the same primary records being publicly available in this forum, conclusions should be based on the evidence that exists, not on what might exist.
Submitted for the historical record.
