Build Date
I was wondering if someone could help me out with a question. I want to find the actual build date for my 2005 coupe. I have the build sheet but I do not see a date on it. Can anyone tell me how to find the build date? Thanks for your help.

You could make a quick and dirty guess. The last few digits of your VIN is the sequence number. The production run for 2005s was 37,372 or about 3,115 a month. Divide your VIN's sequence number by 3115 and you'll have an estimate of the month. Production started in July 2004 I think, but may have been later for verts.

I wanted to know the same thing.. I asked Dennis Fichtner at dfichtner@fichtnerchevrolet.com.. I provided him my VIN and he provided me with a GMVIS report which gave me the build date..

For what it's worth, the build sheet for a 2005 doesn't have the build date on it. Only the order entry date. A dealer or some of the nice folks on the forum could probably get you a build date if you give them the VIN.
