L09 is July the 9th for a '73. It represents the date the trim tag was attached to the body, usually the same day or the day before the car was completed on the production line.
My car is L03, but was completed July 5th due to the holiday.
V0614CLD =
V- Flint engine plant
0614- June 14th, the day the engine was built
CLD- L82 engine with a Turbo 400 trans, non-California

Typical. Probably half or more of Corvettes were not complete cars on the date the trim tag (with time/build date) was attached to the car. Most reqired another day to day and a half to be completed and driven off the line, depending upon the time of day the car reached that point on the line where the tags were attached.
My '68 has a Saturday build date, but she was probably finished the following Monday. My '80 has a Monday date, but the dealer invoice was prepared on Tuesday.
