First Digit: Identifies the Chevrolet division (1 = Chevrolet)
Next Four Digits: Identify the model number
Model: Chevelle , Malibu (Code 3000) / 13637 was a V8 2-Dr sport coupe. 13837 was an SS 396 2-Dr sport coupe.
sixth Digit: 8 = 1968
Seventh Digit: Identifies the assembly plant: B= Baltimore ,Maryland  
Last Six Digits: Represent the basic production numbers starting number 100001 /up . It was the 2487 car off the line. With 62785 cars built (Chevelles) I doubt if it was a late model production car but who knows how many cars were built that year @ Baltimore .It would be nice to see the Body number plate (trim tag) or the engine code she says that has been verified. Maybe someone should ask her for that code. For 1969 it would be a JK, CJK, JE, CJE, KF, CKF, KH OR CKH WITH TURBO HYDRA-MATIC AUTOMATIC.
I doubt if this car is that rare. Were the heads painted aluminum to make us think this is a rare KH (396) or CKH (402) aluminum head (L89) car ?
