General Production Stats and Dealer Order Numbers
I decided to enter the dealer codes into my 69 GTO PHS collection (about 840 GTO's including 330 Judges at the moment.
I'm about a quarter of the way through the process and some interesting stuff has come up... Dealer Order Numbers (DON) A few observations, the low figure (2 or 3 digit) DON seen on Judges are only for Zone ordered pattern judges and seem to follow very roughly in chronological order with the VIN by plant. Later Judges (zone or dealer order codes) have typical 5 digit DON Zone ordered regular GTO's also have regular DON's. So seems like those two or three digit DON's were exclusive to early pattern judge orders. Zone cars invoiced after the regular 69 model run had ended have a blank box where you'd normally see the DON. The regular DON numbers don't indicate any pattern but they seem to be originated by Pontiac rather than being the number each dealer assigned to his own orders. As I enter the other plants codes to my spreadsheet I'll post here if I see a change in the patterns mentioned above
