K19 is the build date of the car, not the paint code. The paint code should be a 9XX number. Interior code 420 is saddle vinyl. I think K19 says that the car was built on June 19th (don't hold me to that).

Check out http://www.rogerscorvette.com/specs/69.htm for more details.

Shannon - I read on the Factory Correct forum that 69 production began in Sept 68 which would make his 'birthdate' July 19th, 69. Do you have a source that states they started in Aug 68 instead? BTW, mine is M20 which I thought was Sept 20th, 69.

Yup. July, 1969. 1969 production began in August, 1968.
