Default Last Corvette Orange 77 made?

I was wondering if anyone knew how I could find out when the last Orange 77 was made. I have one that has an invoice date of 8/27/77. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Someone checked the VIN on my '77 and it presumably rolled off the line 22 February 1977. Don't know where you could find the information though.

Mine was orange from the factory, but I have no idea when it was made. It has the alarm switch in the fender, but the second design t-tops.

there is a 3 digit code on your trim tag that can give you the build date for month and year.


Thanks,
