You're missing a bunch of characters - post everything stamped on the block pad.

If ineterested, the C2 registry calculator gives the approximate birthday for your car with serial number 194376S114019 as Febuary 15, 1966.

I just learned this stuff yesterday, but with a Birthday calculation of Feb 15, and Trim tag F15, looks like Feb 15 66 is the date.

The "F" in F15 on the trim tag is the production month (starting in September) Sep = A, Oct = B, etc.....

Amazing how much stuff one can learn here......

thanks a lot for your help folks! I guess I've got a mid production car since 27720 were made. does that mean they were built to about august that year? I note that it arrived at the Canadian dealership on march 4, 1966 with at least 20 other midyears according to GM records, neat stuff!
