Build date 71 corvette
I am not where I can look at the data tag on the vet. Serial # is 18,975. I could not find the birthdate calendar, but if I remember it did not give dates for 71. Thanks.

Nifty, your "prorated" build date would have been June 29, so it looks like they wrapped up production a few days before the end of June. That would push my estimate for 18975 up to like, June 7 or 8.

18,975 - some time in early-mid june sounds pretty close.

Thanks for all who replied. I just got off the phone and had the person who has my car stored look. My memory failed me on the serial #. Shows K17, # 194671S119725, so it is the 19,725 car made that year, a little later than I thought.
