CKX indicates the base L-48 with automatic transmission assembled March 4th at Flint (V0304). #26530 in the VIN derivative should match your full VIN.

[QUOTE = Easy Mike; 1599072798] CKX indica la base L-48 con cambio automatico assemblato il 4 marzo a Flint (V0304). # 26530 nella derivata VIN dovrebbe corrispondere al VIN completo. [/ QUOTE]

thank Mike, my Vin 1Z37L6S426530!

Hi Davidinov8, I saw from you other post you just got this car. I couldn’t help but notice when you posted your VIN I thought to myself that is close to my 1976 . My VIN is 1Z37L6S426537. If I understand the numbers correctly mine came off the line sequentially seven after yours. Maybe not sister cars but definitely cousins. Welcome to the forum and best of luck!

[QUOTE = aerofix; 1599081890] Ciao Davidinov8, ho visto da te altri post che hai appena ricevuto questa macchina. Non ho potuto fare a meno di notare quando hai postato il tuo VIN Ho pensato a me stesso che è vicino al mio 1976. Il mio VIN è 1Z37L6S426537. Se capisco i numeri correttamente, il mio è uscito dalla linea sequenzialmente sette dopo il tuo. Forse non auto sorelle, ma sicuramente cugini. Benvenuti nel forum e buona fortuna! [/CITAZIONE]
