If youve ever been through the plant you'd know that after running through the paint shop they get put in a holding area until they go to VAP for fitout, so the order they roll off the end isnt necessarily the order they are built in but one thing cant be denied, when the final weld was completed on the last set of stamped panels, the body shop ceased to build car bodies.
Have a read here..

“The car which is currently being auctioned (VIN ending 333644) was the last body to leave the Bodyshop and enter/exit the Paintshop – not to come off the General Assembly line itself.

“Therefore, and very importantly from a heritage perspective, the vehicle in the National Motor Museum in Birdwood SA (VIN ending 333542) is absolutely the last Holden.”
