Dated starter motor
May be a silly question, but I'm asking anyway.
When I bought my '68, the original starter motor (rebuilt) came with it, in a box. Well, I was told it was the original. I stashed the box with other parts, never caring to verify that it was indeed correctly dated. I came across the starter while moving things around, and for shitz-n-giggles I checked the date. The date is C22 and my build date is March 21.
Can that possibly be the correct starter motor? Thank you.

its possible as I think the starter was installed at St Louis and on the engine dress line which was after the trim tag was put on the car. so if the plant got a new batch of starters its possible

I can't imagine why the previous owner would have had the starter rebuilt if it weren't the original, and I understand about the parts date and build date sequence. That's why I asked if this could possibly be the original starter motor. Thank you
