Numerous irregularities in BHC/EUN criteria from a few plants - in 1968.

Baltimore and Framingham [GTO] were the 000000 specialists
Van Nuys [Bird] 000000 also
The WSxxxx would have been a flukey Fremont Deal

All these cars/engines would have had a normal 6 digit EUN.
Anywhere from 20,000 to 50,000 digits lower than the Invoice Number
Don't know how or why they got by with the goofed entries.

The billings weren't created until the cars were completely built and ready to expedite.

This a WS [rpo 348] car from PMD Plant

My friends father order a 68 GTO and Pontiac send him a letter telling him they were having issues with the front bumper and offered him the chrome front bumper but he waited(took awhile). He did not want the chrome bumper. His son owns the car now, it's a survivor and I believe he still have the letter.

Congrats on a great find! I’ve got an endura delete car and for over 20 years I’ve seen sources like High Performance Pontiac list the number to be 2,108 total.

Forgot to add that I’m also interested in the registry.
