Interesting SN discovery

Post by dr deuce »

I just found a Bill of Sale for two of my nine CCKWs. As I was entering the serial numbers into my Excel database, I discovered that one of them is ~120 units from one of the other ones!

Kinda interesting :)

Hey dr, that is interesting. I read somewhere that MB/GPW's were coming off the assembly lines at a rate of about one every three minutes, 24/hrs a day. I wonder if anyone knows the rate the CCKW's were produced.
