Weird Coincidence
I've owned my '75 ragtop for more than 35 years and looked at the VIN many times but it wasn't until I looked at the thread about the car's birthday and read the instructions to look at the last five numbers of the VIN that I realized . . . THOSE NUMBERS ARE MY BIRTHDAY! How did it know?

Far out!
Do you have any idea of the odds of that happening.....I don't!
It (she) didn't know........she was following directions.......

That's pretty stinking cool and I can relate to your strange coincidence. I purchased a 38 Special Snubby, a long time go, that had all the numbers of my drivers license, but in a slightly different order!

That' awesome! I just posted in that thread and then I saw this one.
I thought for a few days before I looked at mine that it may have been made on the day my wife was born. But then after a little more research, I new it was made the next month instead. Not a deal breaker though...lol.
Congrats OP, I'm going to assume you'll be keeping this one for the rest of your life. Great story and I know it makes the car even more special to you.
