Wow, didn't know partially completed cars were crushed. I wonder how those VINs were accounted for.

Thanks, guys.
I remember that link now, don't know why I never ordered the book before.  But, it's ordered now! Interesting on the flammability of the interior as being the cause of the 'crushing'? I had always heard it was for the 5 MPH bumper standards coming in? (and its reinforcements to the body) Too bad Pontiac/GM wasn't still in racing, possibly they could have 'sold' the bodies as body in white to racers, just with no VIN?
