Title: Where to look for build sheet on very original 67
Post by: Rohebo on May 20, 2013, 10:30:42 PM: 1st post here.

I've read that build sheets in '67 Norwood cars is rare. But if I was going to take the time to start pulling things apart on my car where would be the best place(s) to start?

It's a 327 convertible with original seats/covers, door panels and carpet.

Thanks in advance.

Not a good location - the rear seat (and rear carpet) was installed by Fisher Body, long before the Chevy broadcast sheet even existed.

Post by: Rohebo on May 21, 2013, 06:29:47 PM: Not sure if it matters much, but this is a very late build '67 (July - can't remember the week).

So it sounds like dropping the tank might be worth a shot.

I've blindly "felt" under the front seats and didn't feel anything.

Is there a chance it could be behind the front-seat back?

You won't find one on the gas tank on a Norwood car, or in the front seat back (the front seats were installed by Fisher Body too).

that leaves the question:
'Is there ANYWHERE on a Norwood car where there *might* be an accidentallly tucked build sheet??"

Post by: Rohebo on May 22, 2013, 07:42:28 PM: Exactly! Perhaps I need to phrase this differently.

In what locations has anyone (or you know of someone else) found the build sheet on a Norwood built car?

I'm particularly interested in a '67, but at this point I'll take whatever I can get!

This isn't a big deal for my car as it's not a high-option car (and the RS shows on the trim tag).

And I have the protect-o-plate that lists the door edge guards code!

Thanks again in advance for any info.

Post by: Rohebo on May 23, 2013, 06:32:38 PM: Gary,

Those door edge guards are about all I got!

Here's a link to where the '67-'69 protecto codes reside on CRG (all the way near the bottom):

John,

No. The statistical probability of finding a broadcast sheet on a Norwood car is zero.

Yep

Post by: bc69 on May 08, 2014, 01:51:31 AM: Have a friend that bought his 67 new. He showed me the broadcast sheet for it and said it was in the glove box.
It is a Norwood car.
