Build sequence number
I have read that the last six of the vin (build sequence number) will usually start with 100001 and up (500001 for Toronado). My vin last six starts with a 2 (200001). It is a Lansing build but was sold new in Canada. Is that why?

The irony is that, in the late-60s/early-70s, Lansing was kicking out so many Oldsmobiles that sequence number 200001 would normally NOT be that far into the production year. For example, in the 1970 model year, #200001 was built in mid- to late-November of 1969.
The reason #200001 came so late for the 1971 model year was the long UAW/GM strike which occurred late in the 1970 calendar year.

If that is indeed a risk, someone will have to explain it to me.
