Default May be a stupid question

I would like to know how and where to find the build date for my 05?
Is it coded in my VIN #?

No, the VIN number does not contain the build date. The build month/year are on a label on the drivers door. To get the exact build date, contact the NCM.

First of all, not a stupid question. You can PM forum member Sponge Vette

He has access to the GM VIS (any dealer will also) and they can run a report with your VIN number that will give you the information. Even your build sheet from the NCM will not have the exact date that your car came off the line. We've seen variation of as little as 4 days to as much as 3 weeks from the date on the build sheet to the VIS actual build date.

If you are interested in buying a copy of your build sheet from the museum you can do it here:
