Happy birthday! Still looks great! So you must have vin 800 or even 900 something? (Blackbook says last vin in September was #905) Mine will be 44 on November 13, D13, #4473.


oh dear... according to NCRS official production date was 11/14/1967, so I guess we will just have to have a 2 day celebration

Brad, Your car looks Great! What color is your interior? I have the Gunmetal color. I wonder what date NCRS has my build. #0952 I found my info on the c3 registry.

Interior is black.

I don't think I've seen gunmetal in person, do you have any pics of the interior?

If the NCRS has information on your car, it is likely to be a day or two off from your time build code on the trim tag. The NCRS records are the dates the car was considered complete and ready to be shipped. My 68 has a tag code of 4/20/68 (a Saturday). The NCRS completion date is 4/22/68 (Monday).

Then why post in this thread?

Not the best pic. In the sun light, it's beautiful.
