Default 80 Build dates and codes

I thought I had asked this allready, but I didn't.

Here is the data straight from the trim tag:

B 21

trim 792

paint 76 L

I am pretty sure of the color codes (claret on claret/leather), but thought I would post anyhow. So whats her birthday? I went to the NCRS and got 2 different dates. I thought it was Sept 21 but the calculator says Nov 23???

Thanks in advance!

71,454,4spd- If I remember correctly my 1980 Corvette's birthday is November 27th 1979....and it was 7559 th built. The last 5 digits on your serial number indicates the build sequence as a point of reference from my build date.

My guess is November 21, 1979.



Final monthly serial numbers for 1980.
