I ran across a site that showed a chart of when your car was made and even what number it came off the line that day. It also has more good information. I saved it some place on my PC but I can't find it. I used the search but I still could not find it. Anybody have it? Thanks Denny

One CANNOT determine their car's actual Build Date or number off the line using the info from the C5 Registry website. The information as presented at this website is very misleading and people tend to take all sorts of info away from this site that simply is NOT there. This website comes up no less than 3 or 4 times a year on this Forum.

As for the C5 Registry website, note the disclaimer at the top of the first page for each model year that states: "Numbers Reflect Start Of Production Day". This information came from and was originally posted (but no longer) at the assembly plant's website, http://www.bowlinggreenassemblyplant.com/. The assembly plant website used the following disclaimer for the info they posted: "Vehicle Identification Numbers are taken at the start of General Assembly Trim Department." Thus, the information that you're looking at really only shows the VINs that started through the Trim Department that day, NOT the ones that actually came off the assembly line or had that day as their build day. (The definition of build date that I've most often seen is the date that the car was first started and was able to run/move under it's own power.) Although many people here may find their car's actual build day to be one or two production days after the date shown at the C5 Registry site, I've seen some build dates that were two weeks or more after the date shown, especially when this date was just prior to the start of a vacation break.

One can however determine their car's actual build date from the Build Information portion of the GM Vehicle Inquiry System (VIS). Any GM dealer can inquire the GM Vehicle Inquiry System (VIS) for your car's service history and build information. The Build Information portion of the GM VIS inquiry will show your car's actual build date. Also, several members here on the Forum have access to GM's VIS. If you can't get a local dealer to do this, start a new post requesting a GM VIS history/build info inquiry for your car and include your VIN in the post. Hopefully one of these members will come along shortly and run this for you.
