Default What does C06 mean?

On my tag on the door it reads

Chevrolet C06

Paint is 972 Can-am white

Trim is 416 Green vinyl

Is it a RPO# ?


Car is a 69 conv.

If you mean the metal tag on the door frame near the upper hinge, that is the build date.

If it is the same as my '73 C06 would be a build date of Oct 6th 1968.

OK thanks

My Vin last 6 are 715521 which I thought meant a Jan-Feb date?

So the body was made in late 68 and the car finished and issued a VIN in JAN-FEB ?

Sound right?

My guess is that the tag is "G06" indicating a 6 February 1969 build. The "C" and "G" are easily misread.

Here is the one for my '73. It is not on the door. It is on the body under the windshield A pillar on the drivers side.

Yup. That is the build date. E = December. So mine was built 12/01/72. The tank sticker says the same thing.

A = August
B = Sept
C = October
etc.
