Exact Production Date???
Some people here have not only the month and year of production in their signatures but also the exact day it rolled off the assembly line.
How do I figure out the exact day my baby rolled off the line???

Re: Exact Production Date??? (ericshaw)
Well, I'm not sure if I can help you with a failsafe date, but check the link on my home page to the Vette Birthday Calculator in the right hand margin. The Vette b-day calculator sponcered by NCRS and will give you an approximate date of production. The accuracy should be within a couple of days. A link to my home page is in my sig.
Hope this helps!! :cheers:

Re: Exact Production Date??? (ericshaw)
I don't know if you can tell the exact date, but if you have a trim tag on your vette, you can get pretty close.
Look in the drivers door jamb hinge area and there should be a trim tag that has Chevrolet stamped across the top. To the right of that word is a letter and 2 number stamp. That is the month (letter) and day (2 number) of the day your vette's interior was put in, probably a couple of days before rolling out the door.

Re: Exact Production Date??? (Rich's75)
I agree with Rich. I posted a thread a few weeks back - and many methods were used.
The trim tag (IMO) is the most accurate. Post your trim tag date code, if you don't have a book to tell. Or use the NCRS calculator to get the month and year- then narrow in on the exact day by adding 2-3 to the date code
from the trim tag.

Eric,
I just noticed that you have a 76. Below are the months of production for 76 with the last VIN produced for each month.
August 75 = 401602
Sept 75 = 405693
Oct 75 = 409982
Nov 75 = 413481
Dec 75 = 416696
Jan 76= 420568
Feb 76 = 424370
Mar 76= 428760
April 76 =432805
May 76 = 436656
June 76 = 440830
July 76 = 444767
August 76 = 446558
Now if your trim tag has a "A" that would stand for 1st month of production or August 75.
"B" would stand for 2nd month (Sept 75 ) and so on.
The 2 numbers simply stands for the date of that month.

Re: Exact Production Date??? (Rich's75)
Damn! ...lol. My 76 Vette was given to me as a running heap after I was in a near fatal motorcycle accident. As soon as she stalled in my drive way while backing out I fell in love, I knew it was fait. I recently figured out she was built in October... I was born in October of 76, but she was born in 75.
Oh well... at least we're both Libra's! ...I wonder if the day is any where near...???
