In this era GM would typically start a production sale able series with vin 0001 and run more or less consecutively to the the last
number in that model year. 23 and 26 foot models would be mixed together. They would have built maybe a dozen or so prototypes for
early development that would not have had a production type vin. They would have built pilots where the vin began with 0001 and
might have built as few as 10 and maybe as many as 25 of this level. Regular production would then commence with 0026 or the
appropriate next number. The pilot level vehicles were probably never sold to the public. There is no way they would have built
500 pre production vehicles, they never have for any model.
Please clarify what you mean by the statement your vin begins with "033", it should start with "TZE". The last 8 characters should
be 3V102572 if it is a 73. If it's 4V102572 then it's actually a '74.
