A spoiler-equipped, 09D car built in September, 1969 would have the D80 code on the body tag. An 09D car built in September 1968 should not have the D80 code.
Hi Chuck, I agree with you as the 09D car was a very late end of year build. The 02C car came through with with the D80 on the cowl tag which would probably be one of the first ones with the designation on the tag. Some books say that they did not start putting on until another 2 months. --------what is------IS ! It all would be easier if GM handled it like GM of CANADA .---------John
