Starting to appear the B79 was an early operation code for the trunklid Bird.

Maybe once the line crew / line supervisor realized all the cars except for the TA's (obvious Spoiler Holes) got that emblem on the trunklid - they dropped the code from the Buildsheets.

Thanks for sharing a copy of your sheet. Very good condition compared to many I've seen.
Fairly early Van Nuys build too with a scheduled build date of January 27th and fairly low assigned VIN of 409 (408?).
Pretty basic car too, didn't even have a tinted windshield.

Thanks to Justin, I am the new caretaker of this document.
I have uploaded a new scan of it for anyone who wants it - the forum has automatically resized it - my original is 6720x5280 and 7.52mb in size.
Before rescanning it I took some time to fold over rips and tape it on the backside - I believe this is the absolutely most complete version of this document possible.
The scanner here at work was being a pain becasue it would cut off edges no mater what I did, so I had to trick it into thinking this was an 11"x17" document, then remove white space...

yeah the ripped area by the wheel box was all still there, but it just needed some careful folding back...
The only areas which are missing are now areas that no longer exist.
