It could be the very first build triple black convertible for 2000!

However, from the GM Vehicle Inquiry System (VIS), it was determined that the actual build date for his car was Monday Mar 24, 2003. (Note: The web site also erroneously lists that Monday as Mar 22, when the actual date was Mar 24.)
Hope this helps.
The 24th is the build date that SpongeVette reported. Right on Sponge.

Based on a chart I found at http://www.c5registry.com/MembersOnl...2004/index.htm I think my build date is September 26, 2003.

You can find your actual build date by having your dealer inquire the GM Vehicle Identification System (VIS) for it's History and Build Info. Also several people on this Forum have access to GM's VIS. If you can't get your dealer to do this for you, post a request on C5 General along with your VIN and hopefully one of them will come along and inquire this data for you.
Good luck.
