1973 LS4 Numbers
Recently got a 73 LS4 Coupe. Numbers decode to a July build date. VIN is 31945. I know there were only 4,412 454's built that year. Is there anyway to find the highest VIN or last produced?

The highest VIN that I am aware of with the LS4 is 34461. That would be the third from the last.

You can take the database and do a sort by body type and engine type.
Let me know if you what a copy of the database. The database I mail out has a couple of extra sheets than the version on Goggle documents.

I had a 73 LS4 car that was built on the last day of production for the 73, I can't remember the VIN #, but I want to say that it was 30 from the end. FYI - Coupe, TH400, Blue-Green metallic with light saddle, Loaded including rear window defog. Was also ordered with a 3.08 gear.

The 73 Database is at:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?k...jsnJtbLQ&hl=en
A listing of more detailed sales / build history is at:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?k...nyvnCNSQ&hl=en
I have not updated either file this month yet.
If anyone is interested I can email them a more complete database/build history spreadsheet.
