The price is just out there and by no means a must have and I am open to a more correct estimate. I did a quick add of the major parts and the value is that if not more.
I have for sale the 396 2+2 that I acquired a few years ago before getting the 427 2+2 last fall. As it was/is essentially a hulk I dug up and parted a couple parts cars to have a nearly complete, body wise, car. The pics are from a couple years ago but the car is pretty much unchanged other than all the parts I have collected.
Parts included are:
extra doors and side glass
decent black door panels
a repairable trunk pan with good braces
good console and shifter
have a rear seat and one decent and one parts bucket seat
additional hood and trunk lid
most of the 2+2 body insignias
extra window trim
straight front bumper and spare rear. Good candidates for rechrome.
extra front fenders for parts or whatever
four crappy rims and tires to roll it around
I will NOT part the car out. If parts are wanted buy the whole thing and do as you wish.
Car is located just outside or Regina.

I will stand corrected but my understanding was that a car could be picked up by the new owner right at the factory. Alternatively, maybe a GM staff/employee car.
The 2nd and 3rd pic shows where the front subframe meets the side rails. Hard to see but solid. Ive never had the back bumper off, so I dont know if the rear cross brace is straight.
On another note there is also a good console where the rear light is NOT broken out. The lense is missing thou.

Hi... Think you are grasping at straws. I've never heard of a Canadian car delivered "to the factory". If and I repeat IF, it was delivered to the factory it would have a different "dealer code". I t MAY have been delivered to Oshawa Motor sales, they were the BIG GM dealer in town with connections to Oshawa head office
I'm not sure if this is what the discussion is about exactly but there used to be an option code for something that I believe was called "Oshawa Delivery" where the customer picked his car up at the factory. It was still in effect into the 80's at least but I don't think much past that. So that GM document may or may show a dealer code.
The other thing was as mentioned, the GM Zone offices got cars for their staff and I believe in the line on the document where it would have the dealer code it said "GM Zone Office" or maybe it was "GM Product Stock". I know I've seen copies of those documents but can't recall the wording. I owned one of those cars, a 69 Grande Parisenne 427 4 door hardtop that was loaded but that was in the 80's and I never got any GM documents for it. The only reason I know it was a GM Zone car is my boss at the GM dealership here in our small town bought it from the Winnipeg Zone after the zone manager had miled it out.

Yes, that is correct for the "Gm zone office" delivery. I have a bunch of the dealer codes and zone codes in my Vette notes... somewhere. If I recall correctly, most Canadian codes started with a 9, followed by two other numbers.

When I saw "GM Products" as the dealer, my first thought was that it was a special order car by product planning or the marketing dept., to be used in advertising or perhaps as an auto show display car. However, the June 1969 production/delivery dates would be the wrong timing for those things, so a zone or executive company car is the more likely explanation.
I have also heard stories whereby people could follow their car down the line to watch it being built, and finally pick it up at the factory, but I don't know whether this happened at Oshawa or not.
