You can get close. The Corvette Black book shows how many Corvettes were produced in each month. The trim tag on the drivers side gives you interior code, paint color code, and assembly date which is more specific on the born date.

The "B25" in the upper right hand corner indicates Sept. 25, 1967 (for 1968 production).

Hi mr68,
The car 'typically' left the assembly line one or two days 'after' the date stamped on the Trim Tag.
The trim tag was put in place relatively early in the assembly period. The body hadn't met the chassis yet.
Weekends and Holidays could affect how many days would pass before the car was finished.
Regards,
Alan

The C3 Birthday Calculator shows 68 VIN 00712 as being built on September 23, 1967. These calculators are just approximations, based on known information (like last car built each month), and not exact dates.
With a body build date of September 25th, it's likely that your car was completed on Sept. 26 or 27.

The 75 model year began later than usual because the 74 production run was lengthened due to a two month strike.

First month of 75 production at the least. Your consecutive unit number will tell you where the car stood in October production. There were 2385 October cars.
The 75 model year began later than usual because the 74 production run was lengthened due to a two month strike.

Divide 2400 into 30 and you get 80 cars a day.
