so if there wasn't anything Z/28 specific done to the bodies on the fisher side, but if the red tag was under the headliner,  why would fisher need to know a car was a Z/28?

Did you notice the wire on it, maybe was on a component and got stuck in there somehow during body assembly.  It was actually between the roof insulation and front windshield support

So I thought I would add this update. Warren Malkin jr. located these on a LA built 04A 69Z survivor that he has. He told me he thinks they were located under the original carpet, not the headliner, since the original headliner is still intact.  the red tag looks similar

Nice... I have seen similar carpet tags on Norwood cars - the carpets I have seen in Norwood built cars were made by JP Stevens.

When it was possible, GM would buy from local suppliers as the cost to build vehicles at Van Nuys was higher than Norwood due to shipping parts to the West Coast.  We were still paying invoices to all suppliers at the Van Nuys Plant when the second generation Camaro/Firebird were being built and I was surprised to find that the Checker Motor Company built the frame rails.
