Decoding/Numbers / Re: Caveat Emptor...creative interpretation

'CE' should definitely stand for Caveat Emptor in this case. Shame though, a lot of ads are based on misinformation rather than deliberate misrepresentation. Many knowledgeable enthusiasts think that CE means counter exchange.

Car build date 3rd week of Feb, tranny stamped January 4 & engine assembled October?!?
No argument there is a lot to question here, but on the transmission date, early January Muncie assembly dates have been observed in several LOS-built cars up to late March timeframe. I have a Muncie with a March '69 partial VIN, assembled January 4th.

Interesting car, was at Kissimmee end of 2012/early 2013, bid to $100k but didn't sell, then showed up again at the Dallas sale in September 2013, I think it sold that time but winning bid was shy of $100k.

Interested to see as the data point number grows, what is the greatest gap between rad date and car's estimated build date.

John as a Canadian-delivered car, does it by any chance have a block heater?

Was there only one used on each cable, or was there one used on each end of the cable (adjacent to the upholstery, under the cable/nut??  I suppose) to prevent chaffing on the upholstery??
That's right Gary, one cable per car (passenger side only) and one washer as pictured used, located on the seat base to protect the upholstery. The upper end of the cable was attached directly to the inside of the seat hinge arm. There's some good detail pictures posted in this thread: http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=8970.0;all

Steve?   What are the specs/dimensions of the washers?? (OD, ID, Thickness, material/finish?)...
Gary here's a picture of my seat stop cable washer with measurements added. I posted this a while back but can't find the thread right now, not sure if it was here or at TC. The max thickness was from a flat horizontal surface, so picked up the overall as-stamped dimension, but don't think I measured the thickness of the flat plate from which it was stamped.....

I recall a thread here or over at yenko.net that provided decode info. I'll see if I can find it and post the URL.

Great story! Have you tried contacting the 2009 eBay seller to see if they kept the buyer's details? If so, they may be happy to forward your details, then the hunt is on!

12E Ran through Jan 3/4th, did you ever send away to Chevy Muscle Docs to obtain the exact build date?
I didn't seek the NCRS shipper report; don't own the car, just checked it out on behalf of a potential buyer.

Is that the earliest known car with it? I thought a guy posted a pic of a firewall tag, about a year ago, dec or jan car with the code.
That guy was me:
