JC, The Qual-Effic designated that car as a generic test/quality car used to evaluate the car. An interesting fact is most of the 15 France 1989 ZR-1s were built for 047 but then transfered to 052.

Some other C-P-C "Dealers"

052 CPC Group Milford Proving Grounds
185 GM Service Development Center
134 Cambpell-Ewald Ad Agency

#102 was more then likely assigned a "1" p number as a "production" test use car. For example Heinricy's Snake Skinner was assigned

19Y0123
1- Production Pool/general use.
9 = 89
Y = Corvette
0123= 123rd 19Y numbers assigned.

So #102 would have been 10Y0XXX

This number was used for cost accounting and tracking purposes. Car would have been used by CPC until it reached 3000 miles then it could be sold.

There is a slight chance this number is typed on the Build Sheet somewhere.

One more area to check for info is on the actual tank sticker. Many tank stickers have addtional hand written notes on them abouve wht the NCM build sheet has.

Here is a comparison of #004's NCM sheet and what was left of the tank sticker.

I think other then these two longshots the vehicle invoice may provide some addtional info. Ususally it will at least say when it was sold from CPC inventory. Eric

Check to see if #102 has a similar marking on its fan shroud:

Jingles told me all cars delivered to the tech center coolant systems are checked and the number was written on the fan shroud. To prove I am not "all knowing" I have yet to determine what the number actually means, but I have seen this on virtually all prototypes and engineering units I have witnessed.
