Question:
Can you tell from a VIN the date of manufactuer? Or can it only be summised by when in the production run is was built?

This is the vin: 1G1YY26E675114598

thx

By the sheer vin #, I would guess that your car was built around November. Since there are usually about 3000 Corvettes produced each year starting in July, you can usually divide your VIN by 3000 and use that number as the production month with the counting of months starting in July.
By far an even better, much more accurate method would be to look at the sticker on your driver's door. It actually shows what month your car was produced.
You can contact the National Corvette Museum and order the window sticker and build sheet for your car. It will show everything about your particular car including build date, etc.

Tanks!!

 

Your car is number 14,598 of the '07 production. Probably Dec. of '06? Check the drivers side door jamb, a sticker gives the month and year of production.

 

Send a PM to GMautotech with the VIN, your email address, and what you want (birth date) and he'll fix you up.

That's my baby....Thanks Kar Guy

 

sorry to hijack this thread, but is there anyway you can run this vin for me Kar Guy??

1G1YY26U275115822

Thanks in advance

 

My VIN sequence is 75118443, not far from this one and mine was built Nov 29, 2006.

 

Kar Guy, are you around??

 

There are actually approx 40,000 built each year and neither the window sticker or the build sheet will show the date of assembly...

 

The build sheet will not show the build date. The build sheet is issued to the car as a set of instructions for the build of the car prior to the car hitting the line. The only place to get the actual build date of the car is via the GM Vehicle Information System (VIS). It is not on the car, it is not in the wheel well in grease pencil. It cannot be found on the window sticker or the build sheet or on the decal in the door jam.

 

I would love to see mine
