In 1969 the assembly plants were letters, not numbers.  I suspect that "8"
should be "B", for Hamtramck.   As well, the sequential production number,
177358, means it is the 77,358th car off the line, and the Wyoming plant
never built more than 30,000 cars in a year.  However, the Hamtramck plant
did.

The export plant, on Wyoming Avenue in Detroit, was number "8" from 1960
though 1967 and then "P" from 1969 until the plant closed in the late
1970's.

Might the engine letter "N" be "M", for Special Order V8?

Is there a data tag under the hood?  Might get more info from that, as well.
