Default Using the url posted for production figures

My '03 anni., Vin. _________123539 was produced Feb. 25th, '03 (a Tuesday). Its a anniv. red coupe 6 speed.

Once again, the site is http://www.c5registry.com/MembersOnl...2003/index.htm

Look at June 21 of 2002...they built 2002's And 2003's on the same day. Might not be unusual but should looks odd.

Again, read what was posted above at posts numbers 113 and 135. You cannot rely 100% on the data at this web site to determine your car's build date. Once misinformation like this gets started on this Forum, it seems it perpetuates it's self.

I think the majority of the people will find that their actual build day is the next day or the second day after the date shown at that web site. However, if the day after the date shown at the web site is a non-production day (week end, holiday etc.) then they may find that their build date is the next production day or the production day following that. I've seen a few build dates that were two weeks or more after the date shown at the web site when the date shown was just prior to the start of a vacation break.

As mentioned in some of the referenced posts above, Your car's actual build date can be found in GM's Vehicle inquiry system (VIS). Our car's build date just happens to be the day after the date shown at the referenced web site.

Look at June 21 of 2002...they built 2002's And 2003's on the same day. Might not be unusual but should looks odd.
Actually that's not that uncommon at all. This happened at the end of a number of the C5 model years. I read that it even happened toward the end of the 2004 model year with some C6s being built on the 2004 assembly line. Also, it has even happened in the midst of some model year productions with prototype and pilot vehicles being built. We even delayed the Museum delivery of our car 2 week because the plant was closed to visitors for 2 weeks (Mar 31 through April 11, 2003) when we originally wanted to schedule our delivery. Rumor was that they were building some C6 pilot or prototypes cars then. I'm sure you noticed the Job Numbers at the reference web site. On the C5 build sheet, the Job Number is called the Sequence Number and it is this Sequence Number that I've been told that allows them to build these different model years/prototypes/pilots together. Too, I've been told that the Sequence Number is the number that really shows the sequence in which the later year Corvettes (C5/C6s) were built more so than the last 5 digits of the VIN.

Hope this helps.

If the "SpongeVette Report" is right then my Vette was built and born within hours of my 23rd birthday.

2004 Millenium Yellow Convertable.

Born: 03-26-04 / VIN:126046

(c5registery puts that VIN on 03-24-04 I think.)

Look at the back end of the driver's door. On the sticker is the Month/Year of build buy-off and the VIN. (In addition to being on the dash.)
Good Luck

And, if you still can't find it, I'll bet it's somewhere on the Vehicle Registration paper.
