CTZR1,
Normally, in most model years C16 would represent October 16th, however since the 1970 model run was delayed due to an extended 1969 model run, you're C16 represents March 16th, 1970 build date.

EricsQuick71,
Look at your metal trim plate located on the drivers side door hinge area of the body. Now look at the upper right corner, you'll will see a letter followed by two numerical digits. That is the build date of the Corvette body, the cars are usually completed a day or so within that date.

Thanks early shark.
that is what I thought. Then also found this link on another thread for C3 birthdays, but you need to know the last 5 digits of the vin.

An "early" or "late" '70 for what part(s)? There were lots of engineering changes during each production year; and all did not take place at the same time. The effective date of an engineering change depends on what part/assembly process you are considering.
